No Answer

When Job's friends tried to find answers to why Job was suffering , they assumed it was because Job's was hiding sins from God . In Jesus's time the disciples asked about the man who had been born blind  if he had sinned or his parents .As I finished a sermon , Carlos approached , he is a new visitor to our church .And he asked to pray for his daughter who has cancer , I called the elders and we prayed . Later on that day , we went to visit Daisy . She is only 19 and she has been through a lot . First she was in Chemo for one year , then about 2 months ago , they had to amputate her arm and now the cancer has comeback . She was sent home to die . We dont have an answer . What we know is how the great controversy ends .Ellen White says "The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love." GC 678. I told Daisy , if we could fast forward this DVD we could see the end but now we are in the middle of the drama of the movie called the great controversy what we know is that Jesus wins . And at the end , we will be with him . let us live by faith in the middle of suffering knowing that we are closer and closer to the end and I  believe that at the end Jesus will have the answers for everything we've been through .What we know now is that he is with us suffering , we are not alone . so let's talk to him , because he has never promised no suffering in this world what he has promised is to never leave us nor forsake us And that is all we need now .
