Repost from Tangence on 'Do All Things Happen for a Reason?' ( link below)
I have not read a more clear understand of a tough subject than what the blogger has shared. This portion especially on defining the "middle way."
"One “middle way” in this circumstance is to recognize that while God does not cause every thing that happens, and some things happen for no clear reason, God remains connected to us in the experience in such a way that he will redeem it. Rather than orchestrating every moment of our life, programming us like computer code, he is allowing our experiences, our stories to unfold, and through his omnicompetence he redeems every sadness, every injury, every loss no matter how great or devastating.
Does everything happen for a reason? No. Everything does not happen for a divine reason. Yet everything that does happen remains a thread of grace that God weaves in the fabric of a life of grace and redemption."

We live in a broken world but the one who is in us is stronger than the one in the world, he gives us power to overcome the world and what the world does to us. Like the footprints in the sand, this reminds me that trust without understanding it is the foundation to have redemption and healing taking place in us.
