At the recommendation of a good friend, Aaron Conrad, I downloaded the new Steven Curtis Chapman CD, Beauty Will Rise. I'm listening to it now as I write. Only to the 6th song at this point, I'm absolutely blown away by this CD. I would recommend NOT listening to this for the first time while you're driving (unless you're able to easily pull over for a while when necessary).
Since the tragic loss of his daughter over a year ago, many have wondered how he and his family would respond, and countless people have prayed for this family. "Beauty Will Rise" is a glimpse of what God has done through this season in their lives.
I remember the time a doctor asked me why God would "let bad things happen to good people." This had been in regards to the premature birth and extremely difficult period that followed with my son, Noah. My response to the doctor was that somehow God is glorified and would be glorified through the situation, no matter how difficult it was for us to see or understand it. I was confident of the truth, although it was not easily visible at the time.
God is glorified through Steven Curtis Chapman, his family, and their response to this last year, by the help of our God.
Matt. 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
