So the last few weeks, God has taken me past some old familar scripture. Not so much to teach me, but more to remind me - and then to confirm what I've learned. As I've spent time in His word and spoken with my trusted adviors and given advice to others, it occurs to me that most of us resist suffering. I resist it because I haven't clearly understood the benefit. In the middle of a suffering 'episode,' it's really difficult to see any benefit at all, and yet that's where the work of suffering is being done.
In the continuing series, I plan to put together what I believe is a God inspired lesson to help us have a clearer picture of the point of suffering in our lives. Your feedback on these thoughts will be extremely helpful as I believe God want to use this series to touch many lives. I know that we each face our suffering in a different way and our spiritual maturity gives us insights that can enlighten others.
Please feel free to post your comments here, or email me directly kiersten.adkins@sbcglobal.net. I look forward to developing this with you!
Kiersten
