I feel like I keep posting quotes from this book "Searching for God knows what" by Donald Miller but only because it is truly fantastic. I highly recommend this book to anyone. He shows a beautiful perspectives on Christianity. Here is another quote that I loved:

"My friend John MacMurray tells me the first book written in the Bible is the book of Job. Moses wrote Job before he wrote Genesis, most scholars agree, and so the first thing God wanted to communicate to mankind was that life is hard, and there is pain, great pain in life, and yet the answer to this pain, or the cure for this pain, is not given in explanation; rather, God offers to this pain, or this life experience, Himself. Not steps, not an understanding, not a philosophy, but Himself"

If you haven't read the book of Job, it is basically about a man that loses everything. I mean everything you can imagine and not imagine. His life pretty much is the crappiest and most difficult. This book really brings forth the point that God understands our pain and is in control. At the end of the book, Job still stood faithful to God which I know that I could not do. But

God is in control.

God understands.

God is the only rescue. 

God can be trusted through every life experience. 

God is here, there, and everywhere. 

What a beautiful story of Job and Donald Miller's book. 

"And so from the beginning, from the very first story told in Scripture, God presents life, as it is, without escape, with only Himself to cling to."
