Not grace to bar what is not bliss
Nor flight from all distress but this:
The grace that orders our trouble and pain
And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
~John Piper
I’m not sure that the pain that you are going through was inflicted by the hand of God. Certainly an effect of the Fall. No question there. God didn’t keep Danny from dying, but I don’t think Danny’s death was from God’s hand. I do know that God is the One who heals. The only One who can. That I know.
