Discovering a Merciful God

Written by admin

Bad things do happen to good people. We cannot comprehend why a merciful God allows this. There is a process involved in coming to terms with the fact that we may never know why these things happen. God desires to carry us through those incredibly difficult times and He promises to provide every resource we need to deal with the difficulties we encounter. This study will help you see how God is a God of mercy and cares deeply about you.
