Dear Young Christian:
So often we ask ourselves, “WHY?”
On February 15, 1947 Glenn Chambers boarded a plane bound for Quito, Ecuador to begin his ministry in missionary broadcasting. But he never arrived. In a horrible moment, the plane carrying Chambers crashed into a mountain peak and spiralled downward. Later it was learned that before leaving the Miami airport, Chambers wanted to write his mother a letter. All he could find for stationery was a page of advertising on which was written the single word “WHY?” Around that word he hastily scribbled a final note. After Chambers’ mother learned of her son’s death, his letter arrived. She opened the envelope, took out the paper, and unfolded it. Staring her in the face was the question “WHY?”
There may be things that happen in your life this week, and you may never know WHY they happened. But there is comfort in knowing that it is all for a purpose of blessing, and a time when, “Thou shalt know hereafter” (John 13:7).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
