Paul was a zealous missionary serving God the best way he knew how in the chaos of AIDS-filled Africa. A rescuer of sorts, he would – too soon – need rescuing himself. Without warning, an accident fell upon him like a bolt of lightning from a blue and cloudless sky. Suddenly, all he had come to know about so many things was lost beneath a cloud of crushing personal suffering. Everything in his life was changed forever. How could he begin to make sense of it

How do you “come to terms” with those thieving circumstances that rob you of your very reason for being? How do you make sense of the catastrophic changes that inundate the people of faith? We hold open the Scriptures with all of their love, life, promise and hope in one hand, while attempting, in the other hand, to reconcile our pain and deep despair

To Paul’s surprise, his solid training in faith, with those correct and proper theological arguments, offered him scant comfort in his time of brokenness. Instead, to his amazement, God’s personal closeness and gracious presence became his lifesaver. In the end, God’s warmth and love alone would satisfy his heart. This is a true story. Get ready to shed some tears along the way, but in the end it will leave you gently singing.
