I
just read Pastor Rick Warren's daughter's (Amy Hilliker) quote from the
article about their conference on mental health and her journey with
her brother's suicide:
She said, "I wish we knew then the kind of
things we know now," Hilliker said. "But for those of us who know
Jesus, pain births beauty. The story is not even close to being over
yet. Because God is making every hard and ugly and painful thing that I
endured, that our family endured, work for good in our lives and
the lives of others. The hope is, the Bible tells us, that this work
will not end, until God has extracted every teeny, tiny morsel of good
out of that pain. He will not let up until this work is finished."
Amy was SO truthful in sharing about her struggles. So, I take these
words as honest, spoken from her heart of love for her brother and her
love for Jesus.
