Philip Yancey said: “Suffering is not a mathematical puzzle. It’s a desperate human need. We should respond not with words but with practical acts of love and compassion. Remember, Job’s three friends? They tore their clothes and sat with Job in silence for seven days and seven nights. That was true friendship. The problems started when they opened their mouths. Those who face failure and suffering develop a nourishing faith. Fertilizer stinks, but it helps things grow.”
