[@stevemeng2554]

God comforted me greatly through these words of Piper after we lost our 9-week-old baby. The truth is glorious.

[@timlamb1156]

Sorry for your loss brother! May God pour his grace upon you.

[@ernestbaca306]

Share your loss with many as there is “one “ who’ll need to hear how you’ve coped before he loses his battle and succumbs to what many have tried, like myself, but hopefully he’ll fail and find HIM You’ve had a trial and now you have a testimony, use it for the glory of God and further his kingdom Your baby is with HIM and is watching you and waiting for you to make his Heavenly Father smile Bless you sir

[@kevingranger7841]

I hope you look up "T.D. Jake a very emotional testimony" it speaks about grief very well. If God is big enough to know all of us then He is big enough to help you. Trust in the Father who breathed life into you.

God knows everything we are going through, and if He allows it, there is a purpose. Submit to Him even in the suffering, as He is accomplishing something through it. Though He slay me yet will i trust in Him

[@onahjosephejiofor1009]

I first heard this sermon in Shane & Shane song (though he slay me), but i have found comfort in coming back to listen to it again and again to drown the pain of losing my beloved mother (March-2020, elder sister (December-2021) and my lovely dad (July-2022).

My sister just died two hours ago and I was looking for some encouragement. I was also struggling to find the good in being diagnosed with cancer last year days after my 40th birthday and then I hear what he says at 8:44. That broke me. I'm so glad to know God sees our suffering and will do something beautiful with every second of it.

Thank you so very much for this message. My husband, Jimmie, was suddenly killed four months when the jack on a car underneath which he was working failed and the car crushed him to death. I've been crushed, too, until very recently when I could see that Jimmie's death has brought me closer to God than I've ever been and I have realized that I can help others who are going through similar grief. I couldn't have said that a month ago. Thank you John Piper for bringing this message to us. Diane in North Carolina

[@joshipp761]

Diane in NC......my heart goes out to you in the loss of your husband......glad to hear that you open to what God is doing in your life. Many people turn bitter after a tragedy such as yours. Praise the Lord, and may he continue to strengthen you Daily.

"Your pain is doing something for you". That is a comforting reminder🙏.

[@LOL_bye]

I opened KZbin, and found this right in front of my eyes just after having spent 1 hour alone, depressed, crying occasionally and confused about why I am so depressed today out of all days (it's the Sabbath). I am so blessed that God has comforted me with these words just as the Bible says! He gives strength to the weary!

[@becdejong8740]

He sure is a blessing to us all to point us to Christ ❤

This life is only a light momentary affliction that is working for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison!

[@fruitofspirit]

We have daughter with severe Autism. Doni meltdowns down and becomes violent. This suffering has brought me to low places where all I had to hope for or rely on is the grace of God. It is sufficient. This is poem I wrote about it. Letting Go You were so small when handed to me -dark purple and still- you barely breathed. I hardly did, too… while waiting to see why you didn't cry or move suddenly. I held you tight, I wouldn't let go in that first moment unable to know… just what you needed or how to find it- that first of many moments, if I could rewind it… would I have you again? Knowing how it's been… so hard for you in a world you can't choose… where crowds upset you and people stare, where words are like a den of snares that trap and snag you in their maze, while you wrestle from a daze they leave you hanging on pieces gleaning, as you struggle with gestures for meaning… something wanted something found something lost or some strange sound ...has sent you wailing high and low… I hold you tight, I won't let go. How to ease your pain I seldom know, but I hold you tight and won't let go. I brace for impact, weather the storm- just to keep you safe from harm. But have you again? Of course, I sure would! For one of your smiles shines like the sun should. And for all of the blessings that came by surprise, as it was through you that Christ opened my eyes… and showed me the point of life as we know it- to lean on His grace, letting His power show it… to reach out to others and to lift them up high, not shrink from our problems or shake fists at the sky. And that's not to say it's all been a breeze, for I've spent many nights bent down on my knees… asking Him, “WHY?! Was it something I did? To deserve this lot, what crime have I hid? Have I passed down my sin to you?” I ask Him, “Please!” That it's not true! And in His Word, I have found rest. It's so that He'll be made manifest! And that, He is everyday- when prayer and praise chase fears away… when JOY is found on cloudy days, that is just when I feel Him say: “There's just one thing that you should know- I AM holding tight, I won't let go.”

[@shanejette2131]

That's beautiful

[@nalin12]

Thank you. We have a daughter with learning disability and it is so so hard and I too have found Piper encouraging.

[@lauraretail3923]

What a sweet, sweet poem. I can tell it was born out of pain and tear-soaked pillows, but praise the Lord through it you have OVERCOME! You don't sound bitter at all. Your heart is tender towards the Lord. You remind me of Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I praise Him." May the Lord continue to comfort you on those long days and use you to bring hope and strength to others around you. Bless you Sister!

[@julesj5853]

This last year is the first year that persecution was beginning to be real for me. Not that I was physically hurt but that because I stood up for what was right in the Lords eyes, I made enemies with family members. They literally cut me off. It may be temporary but they acted like I committed a crime for standing up for righteousness!

[@lauraretail3923]

The Lord sees you and knows. Stand your Biblical ground as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did! "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.” (Daniel 3:17-18) And of course, the Lord delivered them! When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me. (Psalm 27) Your times are in His hands. He sees you and He will never forsake you.

[@mcoz6934]

As hard as it is to hear, I know that I was suppose to listen to this right now. I have to believe this. Nothing else makes sense. Especially when John says to get up in the morning and preach them to yourself. I do this everyday. Sometimes it is all I want to do. Even though I am alone, I am not alone.

Ty so so much for this. I lost my children in 2010 bc of addiction and mental illness. I got sober for 5 years and relapsed after my house was broken into and I was severely beaten, robbed, almost raped and I was kidnapped. I have ptsd now bc of it. I relapsed six months after that happen and my children stopped all contact with me. I lost my will to live lost all hope lost my purpose in life and I have been so lost ever since. My soul is shattered my heart aches every second of every day I can not put into words the love I have for my children or the pain I endure daily bc I don't have any relationship with them. Idk how to live. I don't feel I deserve to be happy or have a good life and idk how to change that. I love every day waiting to die but God just won't take me. Idk what this is suppose to teach me I've tried so hard to look on the other side of this but I can't find one. My entire family has abandon me as well literally. I'm 35 years old and I have no one literally no one. I turned my back on God years ago bc of this, but lately I been getting these signs here and there that God's the only way I'm gonna have a fighting chance. For the first time in years in gonna sit down to pray an actual prayer not just a prayer out of fear but truly pray and talk to Him and it's bc I watched this. Ty so very much this very well could be what changes my life forever. I've been extremely suicidal for years now even worse this past year and I was planning to follow through on the 20th of this month but you just changed all of that. Ty so much I hope you actually see this comment. Omg ty

Will be praying for you. 🤗

[@ethanmeraz6477]

I'm sorry for all that you've been through, but look at this text: "For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:6-8 Regardless of all the failures we've had, the sins we've committed, and the things we've had against God, He sent His Son to die for sinners. We're all sinners "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" -Romans 3:23. We've all sinned, but He loves us and did the thing that no man could imagine, sending His Son to die for enemies, us. He calls us to repent of our sins, to turn away from them and stop doing them and turn to Him, and believe in the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) that Christ paid it all through His perfect life where he never sinned once and then died in our place bearing the wrath of God for our sins. But He came back to life after three days and proved that He paid for all sin in full and now forgiveness has been bought. Trust not in yourself, but trust in Him, in His sacrifice! "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9. Trust in Him! Live your life for Him! Read His Word alone, the Holy Bible, and study it every day as much as you can and ask for His will to be done in your life and live your life biblically, following what the Bible says and trusting in His Son even in the midst of your struggles or sins, temptations or trials. Always repent of your sins and run to Him for everything. I wish you the best by God who is mighty to save!

Brilliant exposition on a topic that surely plagues us all at times. Sanctification brings greater acuity to all the horrors/suffering around us presently and in history.

[@richellepeace4457]

It always works out for someone else's benefit while you are left with your tears and grief.

[@ruedigersens9888]

Pastor Piper is, as far as I know, the only one who has the exegetical courage to consider virtually all the evils of this world as direct causes of glories that vehemently contradict our earthly understanding, but which we, as born-again Christians, can grasp and appreciate in faith. "Every millisecond of your misery produces a glory that you will receive precisely through these sufferings." through these sufferings: That is: The sufferings are to be considered causally glorious by themselves! No relativizations of the kind: in spite of or after.... All other exegetes always emphasize the suffering as a temporally and meaningfully insignificant evil, which is of little importance in view of the sufferings of Christ on the one hand and the blessings of the kingdom of heaven in the hereafter. Pastor Piper's interpretation also does justice to the all-encompassing omnipotence of God, who is sovereign creator and ruler over good and "evil." This also includes all diabolic evils of this world. It is true: for those who believe in God, all things that happen to them only serve their best.

[@eighthoneknows8273]

Thank you . I've often thought my sufferings must amount to something , somewhere in this age or the age to come . I guess this sermon answered that for me ! But still , I'm worn out !

[@bobtaylor170]

Me too, sister. But think of the psalmist in Psalm 88. For him, it seemed as if God had disappeared. I understand that. You probably do, as well. But we know it isn't so.

[@halo7829]

Ask God to add peace and joy to your longsuffering.To keep you patient waiting for the renewing of his strenght.To take you from strenght to strenght.Grace to grace.Faith to faith.3 things i never ask God for when i pray.1-I never ask him for money.2- I never ask him to make someone love me.3-I never ask him to make anything easy on me becouse he wont,but I do ask him for the strenght to get thrue and he gives it in abundance.👆🙏💪

[@JosePerez-is6nn]

Cast your cares upon him because he cares for you..

[@heliaalves9062]

@@halo7829 we pray the same way, I only ever asked God for the most basic necessities. Nothing fancy. I have also never asked for anyone to love me, because I wanted (not looking anymore) true love and for it to be true I need to be chosen by someone, God cannot hand me a man on a platter, that wouldn't be love. I also never asked Him to make it easier for me, but I constantly beg for humility and wisdom. Some people see me as arrogant, but I'm not so I don't want them to have that impression. Also we can never humble ourselves too much, we're not perfect after all. Wisdom is key as well. If you have wisdom, you know how to navigate through life, which I don't so I need to ask for it. Thank you for your comment, I really enjoyed knowing someone prays in a similar way and is not asking for Ferraris, mansions or a husband. Not that it is wrong to ask for that, God will still hear you, but it doesn't fit my personality and what I truly want.
