“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1. Peter 5:10

 In Christian life, suffering fetches a message, which will strengthen us and motivate us, to be dedicated totally in our life for Jesus. He is a caring Father who takes utmost care to protect us.

“Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”Isaiah 30:20

“As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. Psalm 84:6

The hidden burdens which cannot be let out to anyone, the tears, heavy sighs of the burdened heart etc, will definitely teach the values and quality of life.

“…. we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.Romans.5:3-4

“It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that  I may learn Your statutes. Psalm 119:71

“But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.1.Peter2:20

 “For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.1Peter3:17

Remember suffering produces good things in life, ‘cause God’s love is poured into your heart.
 At the end we can taste the blessings from God.

Take care, because in practical life it takes a rough path to tread upon.

God be with you

GOD BLESS
