"Thousand-year-old Tears" - God and Suffering

“Waiting for the lab report, /Dependent on mysterious authorities,
Gazing at my daughter in hospital, / Her mother and I sharing a hard fellowship,
I know a timeless tribeless circumstance; / I drive to the hospital in an eternal procession, 
I eat in the snack bar among the whole human race; 
My tears began 100,000 years ago / And will never stop.”
(Ray Lindquist) 

All of us experience suffering. What does the Bible say about that? What should we say about that? What should we feel? What should we pray? How could our tears turn into priceless pearls in the hands of a Suffering God?

Mario Dányi-Nagy I am a Reformed pastor in Kiskunhalas. I have been part of MEKDSZ for more than 10 years now, and I hope I'll always be! I work with the youth mostly, for whom I have a heart. It is my conviction that the Word of God is interesting beyond imagination, and that the Son of God loves us beyond imagination. I live and work to pass on these two truths - I hope, every once in a while, I succeed.
