Brian DoerksenYou may have heard of Brian – he’s a famous Christian songwriter who wrote “Holy God” and “Come, Now is the Time to Worship.” But what you may not know is that Brian and his wife have two sons with disabilities. When it comes to caring for his children, Brian says, “Helping them is an incredible joy because it’s my way of getting very close and personal with them.” I find it interesting that it’s hardship that brings them closer together. Psalm 34 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” Friend, when your Father in heaven allows suffering, he wishes for your relationship with Him to grow closer – and that goes for your loved ones, as well.
