We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. At all times we carry in our mortal bodies the death of Jesus, so that his life also may be seen in our bodies.
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 GNBDK
Reflection:
The Christian life is contrary to popular culture. While the world reacts to suffering as something negative, as Christians we are called to rejoice in our suffering, for through it we are made one with Christ and what a privilege it is to be helping him carry the cross. For in suffering God is the closest to his people, it is for our weakness that God accepts us. Are we willing then, to accept him and his ways?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the Grace to rejoice in all circumstances as you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. May his Holy Spirit teach you to understand God's ways and walk in it joyfully. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
