#2. Why Do You Have To Suffer?

Many times, we humans complain that God is unfair and not understand why we have to suffer so much. Instead of complaining, maybe you should ask yourself this question. Do you know why you have to suffer?

Here are four reasons that sum it up:
1. Suffering helps us realised our urgent need for redemption.
2. Suffering helps us experience our dependence on God and our interdependence with one another.
3. Suffering helps us distinguish between necessities and luxuries.
4. Suffering helps us respond to the call of the gospel because we may have become so desperate that we cry out to God.

The hardships we experience,
The trials that we face,
Will teach us that we’re strongest when
We’re trusting in God’s grace.
~Sper

The weaker we feel, the harder we lean on God.
