A Story

My dad once told a story about a pastor who had a child. The man loved his son but one day the boy got sick. The man prayed, the family prayed, the church prayed, friends prayed. Yet, he only got worse and eventually he passed away.

It was a struggle for everyone to understand. Yet, the pastor kept going, kept preaching, kept the faith.

When a friend asked him how he was able to remain so strong after his little boy had passed away, the pastor looked at him and said, "I don't understand why it happened but I will not go to hell over a mystery."

Think about it.
