And so does every one. Some accept that mystery on faith, others do not.

Having the Faith is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, and it is given freely. Those that humble themselves and open themselves up to Him are blessed in every way, even in suffering. Suffering will come to everyone, and it has it’s individual effects on everyone, some will become bitter, others will accept with resignation and move on peacefully, grow in virtue, and understanding, others will curse the darkness, and misery. The difference is that those that turn to Christ are gifted with the Holy Spirit who bestows His supernatural gifts upon them, and transforms them to become like Christ Himself. They become like the leaven in bread, which causes it to rise, grace of God causes man to rise above his human condition, and even begin to enjoy some of the blessings found in Heaven. There is no way that human reason could possibly gain this for mankind, although it can lead one to the one who can make it possible. I can verify this in my old age, and I am confident where it will end, I have His Word for it and more than His word.

It’s not that some do not accept the mystery of suffering, they don’t accept because they can’t without the Faith. What will reason prove about suffering? That is exists, and is a mystery. What excuse will some use, that they were never told about Christ?

There’s that mystery again. Suffering exists because we evolved on our own as a consequence of initial creation, not because of some divine action, in my belief.
 
I think this is the appropriate place to post this News Report because it deals with suffering, and it is concerned with the existence of God and His relations to human events. And this testimony is from a young woman of 26, that shows more wisdom than I have exprienced from more knowledgeable people, and from older people who should have more wisdom.

American hostage wrote, “I have a lot of fight left” the family of U.S. aid worker Kayla Jean Mueller, released the following letter she wrote in spring 20l4, while she was b eing held captive by the Islamic State.

Everyone, if you are receiving this letter it means I am still detained but my cell mates(starting from ll/2/20l4 have been released. I have asked them to contact you+ send this letter It is hard to know what to say. Please know that I am in safe location completely unharmed+ healthy (put on weight in fact) I have been treated w/ the utmost respect+kindness
I wanted to write you all a well thought out letter (but I didn’t know if my cell mates would be leaving in the coming days or the coming months restricting my time but primarily) I could onlly but write the letter a paragraph at a time, just the thought of you all sends me into a fit of tears.
If you could say I have suffered at all throughout this whole experience it is only in knowing how much suffering I have put you all through: I will never ask you to forgive me as I do not deserve forgiveness. I remember mom always telling me that all in all in the end the only one you really have is God. I have come to a place in experience where, in every sense of the word, I have surrendered myself to our Creator b/c literally there was no one else…+ by God+by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in freefall.
I have been shown in darkness, light + have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see that there is good in every situation, sometimes you have to look for it. I pray each day that if nothing else, you have felt a certain closeness+ surrender to God as well+ have formed a bond of love and support amongst one another. (continued next post)
 
continued:
I miss you all as if it has been a decade of forced separation. I have had many a long hours to think, to think of all the things I will do w/ Lex, our first family camping trip, the first meeting at the airport. I have had many hours to think how only in your absence have I finally @25 years old come to realize your place in my life. the gift that is each of you+the person I could+could not be if you were not a part of my life, my family, my support.
I Do Not want the negotiations for for my release to be your duty, if there is any other option take it, even if it takes more time. This should never have become your burden. I have asked these women to support you; please seek their advice. If you have not done so already, (redacted) can contact (redacted) who may have a certain level of experience with these people.
None of us could have known it would be this long but know I am also fighting from my side in the ways I am able+ I have a lot of fight left inside of me. I am not breaking down+ I will not give in no matter how long it takes. I wrote a song some months ago that says, “the part of me that pains the most also gets me out of bed, w/out your hope there would be nothing left…” aka- The thought of your pain is the source of my own, simultaneously the hope of our reunion is the source of my strength.
Please be patient, give your pain to God. I know you would want me to remain strong. That is exactly what I am doing. Do not fear for me, continue to pray as will I+ by God’s will we will be together soon.
All my everthing, Kayla

Kayla was being prepared for Heaven, and it won’t be long, considering eternity, before she will be united once more with her loved ones. Jesus is real, and He is God, and so is Heaven and Eternity.

They seek the truth to life issues and answers. If their conversion last that long, they were never converted, and I too worked in a prison as a Deputy Sheriff. That’s one of the major errors in judgement about conversion. It is not taught, it is experienced, it doesn’t come from indoctrination, or processing. It is a life changing experience. When a person states that he used to be a Catholic, he is not saying he was converted to Catholicism in the past. although he may be under that illusion. Conversion is a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, and there is no doubt when you have it. That is why Evangelization is so important!
