1 Pedro 4
Buenos administradoresde la gracia de Dios 1 Puesto que Cristo ha padecido por nosotros en la carne,[
a] vosotros también armaos[b] del mismo pensamiento, pues quien ha padecido en la carne,[c] terminó con el pecado,[d]
2 para no vivir el tiempo que resta en la carne, conforme a las pasiones humanas, sino conforme a la voluntad de Dios


Tomado del libro Passion and Purity

¨Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. the Love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering. The love of God did not protect his own son¨

¨However it s no use trying to measure suffering. What matters is making the right use of it, taking advantage of the sense of helpnessness it brings to turn one´s thoughts to God. TRUST IS THE LESSON¨
