The Bible assures us that because God has written our story, we can be confident that He has the final word. The ending will always be good, even when it is difficult to find grace in illness, unemployment or divorce. We must always remember that our difficult times will not be the end of our story, that we are in the middle of our journey. Whatever happens, we should not close the book of life, we should not give up. We must continue reading - sometimes until we reach eternity, because in the end all the pain and suffering will have purpose and meaning.
