In the land of Uz there was a blameless man named Job, who feared God and turned away from evil. He had great wealth, seven sons and three daughters. God allowed Satan to test Job, and one disaster after another came — his cattle and sheep were taken, his servants killed, and all his children died at a feast. Facing this sudden, crushing blow, Job tore his robe and shaved his head, yet fell down to worship God, saying, 'The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away.' In great suffering, Job did not sin, nor did he speak wrongly against God.
Job lost everything in one day — his livestock, his servants, his children — he carried the deepest grief a person can know. Yet he did not complain against God; instead he fell down and worshipped, saying, 'The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away.' This shows us: true faith is not loving God because we have good things, but knowing God is God even in suffering. When your heart hurts, remember — you do not have to pretend to be strong. God sees your tears, and His love never leaves you
