Why do you suffer in life? Is it because God is angry at you? Why don’t things add up for you? Why is it that things change around at times? You wanted a perfect life but you didn’t get it. And you keep regretting everyday. What do you have to do in such moment? Stand up and face it! Sufferings are not to inflict pain on you but to make you PERFECT. Yes, it only intends to make you perfect all the time. Only those who have gone through sufferings have actually won. Why? It’s because they learnt their lesson. Some may have not gone through such circumstances. But when they do, they will see where they are.
I am motivated to speak on the subject by reading from the book of Hebrews 2:10 “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.” In simple terms it says that only through suffering did Christ actually make himself perfect. What he went through was what any man hadn’t gone through. He gave himself to be crucified to redeem mankind’s sins. Jesus did. That’s what made him perfect. It was not to show himself as the perfect man by but just to save people like you and me.
Suffering molds you in a better person. So if you have suffered, it happens only to make you perfect. I assure you that you will be better than before. You will be bold enough to face any challenge and you will lift your head high. To all those who gave you a pity look when you lost, you will show them who you are.
Let us take another look into the life of Job. His life is mentioned in the book of Job. Job’s life is infact the perfect example of suffering. The whole story of Job starts when the devil asks God to allow him to test Job’s faith. He did so and Job was inflicted with disease and then he lost his family. But he suffered so much that he never gave up his faith. Note the point over there, he never gave up his FAITH. Never give up your faith. Praise God for all that you are going through. Those praises are the ones that are going to change your life in a second.
Sufferings are for the best. Remember that nothing happens without a reason in this world. For everything that has happened to you, God has a plan. If you have suffered surely there must be something that God has for you. Just face it with faith. Just believe at the end something good is going to happen because that is usually how it is. At the end Christ gives us what we need. Remember life is a test. You just cannot finish a race without losing first. So first learn to lose and then come back up with a strong face.
BE BOLD AND BE BRAVE!
