I can't explain that. Nothing seemed to reach the level of my hurt. Satisfying our deepest desires Maybe God intends that nothing except him can satisfy our deepest desires. Not the drinking buddy, not loud music, not trips to the beach or the desert, not spending money. During tough times of pain and suffering, through perhaps years of drought and frazzle, we can come to grow in our appreciation and love for each other.
Love is the environment where faith can grow.
Faith propels us to new reach heights we would never have reached were it not for the pain and the frustration and the sorrow. Christ and Christ alone satisfies. Jeff Zhorne, former managing editor, is a member who attends the Pasadena congregation.
