RESTORING THE LOSS: WHEN LIFE DOES NOT GO AS PLANNED

Life is full of regrets. Yet two truths offer us hope. First, God can redeem the losses of this life, weaving even our deepest disappointments into his gracious purposes. What once seemed only loss can, in God's restoring hands, become a source of growth, blessing, and hope. Second, our hope reaches beyond this life. Eternity assures us that the story is not over. Dreams left unfinished and possibilities cut short by life and time will not have the final word. God's future is one of endless life, discovery, and flourishing in the renewed creation.
