Summary
We are never more near to our Savior than when we are suffering. In that way, we are able to thank Him for it—even when the suffering is unimaginable.
For EA Montgomery, of our Homewood community, a lifetime of loss has given way to an eternal mindset, and grace upon grace has given way to gratitude.
Following the unexpected passing of her two-year-old daughter, EA shares a raw and honest account of what it's like to journey from the pits of despair to a place of joy and peace.
In this episode, you will learn:
— The Lord will never lead you to where his grace cannot sustain you.
— When you fully trust Him, you can face anything.
— He is merciful, gracious, and loving in all circumstances.
— Your only hope in life and in death is in your Savior, Jesus Christ.
