We all suffer. We have all suffered. We all will suffer at some point in this life. Suffering it inevitable. This suffering I am talking about isn't suffering to the point of death...it's when you are going through something in your life that makes things difficult for you. Something that makes you feel uncomfortable...
How do you embrace the suffering you are going through. Do you wallow in self-pity or to you take it?
I know that we will be rewarded for our perseverance when we suffer. That is usually what gets me through it. Plus I know that suffering is temporary and extremely brief compared to the lives that we will live in eternity.
Did you know that Christ suffered first, before he received the crown? It was the cross before the crown...
"But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by his generation." (Luke 17:25)
We want to live lives like Jesus right? We must suffer first in order to do that.
Next time we suffer we need to realize... 'hey, Jesus went through this too.'
He went through it first...
We can't experience eternal glory in heaven without suffering first. As you approach a start to a new week. Embrace every difficult and tough situation that you go through. Christ went through it and you can too. This is the first step in your relationship with Christ to become more like Him...
