Perhaps God has brought adversity into our lives as chastening for disobedience to His Word and will.
The suffering that God allows in our lives may also indicate His purpose to bring us to a greater level of faith in our walk with Him since one of the purposes of human suffering is to bring the sufferer to a personal knowledge of God's saving grace.
Suffering is sometimes allowed by God for reasons like to suppress pride and develop faith, to teach patience, to foster fellowship with Christ, or to experience God's comfort to share it with others.

ReplyDeleteyeah, that is why it is called "the Glorious Cross". He allows suffering so that we will remember Him.
ReplyDeleteThis just reminds me to be thankful for the trials and sufferings i have gone through because if we put our trust in God, like Jesus who suffered in the cross and triumphed, we too, will triumph with Him to eternity.
