Life IS beautiful, it really is.
Even when you feel like you are barely hanging on. Even when your friends seem to be dying left and right. Even when your heart hurts so much it feels like one mass of throbbing, beating and bloody pulp.
Why?
Because “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” -romans 8:27
God is good. God is mighty. And God is tender.

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. … And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.” -romans 8:26,28
