Finding Hope in the Darkest of Times
When life takes an unexpected turn, it’s natural to question God’s plan. Mary Aucoin Kaarto, a woman who had been laid off from her job just a week before being involved in a car accident, knows this feeling all too well. Confined to her home and wracked with pain, Mary cried out to God, asking, “Why are You allowing me to go through this again?”
A Cry for Understanding
Mary’s situation seemed hopeless. She had lost her job, and now her body was broken. It was hard for her to understand why God would allow her to face one disaster after another. But in the midst of her darkness, Mary turned to God, seeking answers and solace.
God’s Perfect Timing
As Mary reflected on her situation, she began to understand that God’s timing is always perfect, even when it doesn’t seem that way. She realized that God was using her trials to demonstrate His love to others who were facing similar struggles. And so, Mary wrote, pouring out her heart and soul onto the page.
A Message of Hope
Mary’s book was released at a time when thousands of people were losing their jobs. It was a message of hope and encouragement, reminding them that God is always with them, even in the darkest of times. Today, Mary continues to spread this message, helping others see that God’s plan is always greater than our own.
Trusting God’s Timing
No matter what circumstances you’re facing, remember that God’s timing is perfect. Trust in Him, even when it’s hard to understand. As 2 Corinthians 9:8 reminds us, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
