Has someone in your life--someone who was supposed to love you and protect you--did they hurt you instead? Do you ever wonder why these bad things happened to you? Why would God, who supposedly loves everyone, put you through such a painful ordeal? Whenever someone with hurts like yours came to my medical clinic, I asked myself that question. I thought, how can God's love even begin to make sense to a person who has no real evidence--no proof that God cares? And yet I know that God does love you. So I asked God to show me why he let you suffer so much. This little book contains the answer I got in response to my prayers. What I discovered may seem hard to believe. But this is what I found out: your pain--your personal, individual nightmare--is part of God's plan to save the world.
