suffering and lament.
The suffering of Job is incredible, and I don’t understand how it all fits together.
The suffering we endure is incredible; my heart breaks over the deep losses of life we experience.
I need to learn how to lament these losses.
My professor said that we need to cultivate the ability to be with people who are suffering without trying to explain it to them. This is truly a virtue. I agree.
My friends in South Africa are artists working with social justice issues, including orphans and racial reconciliation. In their latest field report is a photo of the rooftops of a poor township with two lines underneath:
forgiveness and grief sing together
the songs of our time, of all time.
Job’s confession to God rings true:
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” 42.2
