For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
1 Peter 3:17, NAS
1 Peter 3:17, NAS
Everyone suffers. Christians, non-Christians and all people alike. The moment we were born to the moment we die, there will be a small trickle of unpleasantness that will always be with us. When we look at ourselves, depending on who we are, we will see either more good or bad.
For those who see themselves as the "greater sufferers", can't you see yourself instead as the most wise, knowing, strong, full of experience instead? Suffering gives birth to many qualities and honestly enough, makes you into a better person if you accept it.
That's it! Accept your suffering! Do not turn away the pain, blood, sweat and tears that have made you into what you are now. Christ brought us true love and died on the cross for us just so that we may be connected with God. If Jesus ever hated Himself or regretted that He went through that entire journey, the saved would mean nothing to Him. But the truth is, we mean everything to Him.
Praise the Lord.
Amen.
