What Does It Look Like to Love The Least of These: A Personal Story Of Heartache & Redemption (Part 1)
Manage episode 429170877 series 3476165
We hear them on the daily: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Turn that frown upside down. Just stay positive. Those adages may be helpful for some of life’s challenges, but what happens when a devastating life event brings pain and suffering? How do we continue to find hope and strength in the face of unimaginable hardship?
This month’s series includes Robin’s insight into one of life’s most difficult experiences. Insight into the criminal justice system, restitution, and forgiveness. Insight into the reactions of family, friends, and communities when someone is convicted of a crime that changes lives forever.
One of Robin’s favorite scripture verses is Romans 8:28: And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. The verse is not about the good of suffering’s end; rather, it affirms that things are working together for good in the midst of suffering and that God is working even in suffering for our good. Please join us as we are reminded of God’s grace in the midst of suffering.
