Here are some thoughts from a letter that might encourage you --
'You know around here we are experiencing hardships. but thank the Lord He is supporting us and comforting us and caring for us in every way. When we experience misfortune, adversity, distress and hardship, only then do we see the real blessing of the Lord poured down on us in such a way that we cannot contain it. Hallelujah!
We have been obliged recently to leave our modest apartment and for over two months have been living on a balcony. The rain has been beating down and soaking us. Sometimes in the middle of the night we are forced to gather our blankets into our arms and run to seek refuge in a stairwell.
do you know what I do then? I'm happy, I laugh, I praise the Lord because we can still take shelter in the stairwell, I think of how many people are experiencing much worse hardships than I am...
...I don't know what words to use in order to describe the love that the Lord has shown to our family. I only can bow my knee and my heart and offer to the Lord words of deepest thanks and praise. Although we've lost our house, we've lost our possessions, we have not lost the Lord and that is enough. With the Lord I have everything.'
