"Yet the silence of God is not the same as the absence of God"
from: A Turkish Theologian.
An excellent account of the persecuted church.

...This reality forces us to take another look at what Paul means in Romans 8:28 by "our good."

Similarly, when we look at Paul's list of sufferings in 2 Corinthians 11, it's clear that Paul's life will never be known as a good one by today's pop psychology or quick-fix spirituality books....
...But, our highest good is not a problem-free life; it is to be like the Son....
