I found my faith grew more resilient when I realized there's nothing in the Bible promising rainbows and kittens in this life. It is much more concerned with the life eternal.
This speaks to my soul. You’ve captured my feelings perfectly. You put into words what I haven’t been able to express. Not only did God not promise us old age, but He also never promised us wealth or an easy life.
It saddens me how Christianity has led some to believe that following Christ guarantees a good life when that was never the promise. As you said, true life awaits us after we depart from this one. What a beautiful hope.

Amen! And thanks for the restack!
