Keep this in mind: God does have a wonderful plan for our life in heaven - wonderful because, with unmitigated delight, we will enjoy everything He then has in store for us. And He has a wonderful plan for our lives now, on earth - wonderful because, with deep gratitude, we can value everything He is doing in us and through us in the midst of severe trials and acute sorrow.
