The Sweet Side of Suffering

Recognizing God’s Best When Facing Life’s Worst 
M.Esther Lovejoy 
Discovery House 2013

This newly published book is full of scriptural truths about the character of God in our suffering.  In the introductions she says “Times of suffering can be times of tremendous darkness of soul.  It is my prayer that these pages will help poke holes in the darkness and bring God’s light and encouragement to those who are in the midst of the dark night of suffering.”  She uses example in her life of various difficulties she has experienced showing us how God’s love has brought light into those times through ways such as His voice, His care, His comfort, His shared suffering, His grace and hope. 

Her examples may differ from your experience but the words that she shares help bring out a response that can only come by the help of God.  She pulls together stories from throughout the Bible for us to see the way God speaks and can be present in the rough days that come with caregiving.  Some days you may not look at your caregiving as suffering but other days may feel like misery.  Drawing on the writing of Lovejoy may help you to lean on your heavenly Father in dark times to sweeten the bitterness of life’s struggles.
