All of us experience suffering. There is no exception to it, regardless of your status in life, the number of friends you have, the kind of family you belong, the place or country you are residing, your religion, etc.

I just attended the Sunday service in CCF (Christ Commission Fellowship) just right before I write this blog (well, the Sunday service inspired me to write this), and they shared a very good list of what is the Purpose of Suffering.

Suffering is…

not to HARM you, but to HELP you

not to PUNISH you, but to PURIFY you

not to DAMAGE you, but to DISCIPLINE you

not to TEAR YOU DOWN, but to TRANSFORM you

not to BREAK YOU UP, but to LEAD YOU TO A BREAKTHROUGH

not to CRUSH you, but to MAKE YOU CHRIST-LIKE

from CCF June 6, 2021 Sunday service

Are you suffering right now? I hope the list gives you HOPE as it me gives me one.

Cheers 🙂
