God Bless America

“The solace for me lies in God’s words in the Quran, that He wants to complete His favor upon us and that He wants to take us from darkness into the light.” She walks over to Dolly and again puts her hand on her shoulder while facing the others.
“If we can just be patient and if we can just believe in Him, this dark moment of our lives, the moment that seems like there is no way out, this point in our lives where we feel we can’t do it anymore or it is all too much, or we are all alone, or we have no will to live, just hold on a little bit more. And a little bit more. The answer will come. The reason why you had to endure what you did, awaits you. Your gift awaits you. Your prize awaits you. You are not going through this because God hates you and is punishing you. He wants only the best for you and if you hold on, you will get to find out what that is. That is my conviction, that is my finding. I know it is meant the same for you. The more you have endured, the more you will be rewarded with. That I can guarantee. And the best of all gifts, of all rewards, is of course only nearness and companionship with the Lord our God.”
