Abstract
"...Schaeffer comes directly to grips with this eternal question: Why? Sometimes we can know the answer; more often we cannot. What we can know is that God is with us, sustaining and strengthening us to bear what must be borne. It is not that affliction comes from God. Rather, He uses it to help us grow in faith, to make us sensitive to the pain of others and to teach us to trust in Him alone. We learn to be patient and comfort others as God comforts us..."
