Our loving heavenly Father doesn’t stop bad things happening, but he does bring good things out of them. Or, at least, he provides the potential for good things to come out of them.

Thanks Peter. That is deeply insightful. It should never be about denying the facts or pretending that they are not as sobering as they are. But then comes the place for our response – and our early response might be very different to our longer term one.
