"My persecutions, and my sufferings. You know all that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, the terrible persecutions I endured! But the Lord rescued me from them all. Everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted."
2 Timothy 3:11-12 GNBDK
Reflection:
We'd seldom talk about Christian suffering, because the world seems to be focused on prosperity. Now both aren't wrong, but we've lost a sense of balance. Jesus came that we have a life of abundance, then why did he have to suffer? And if justify his suffering, aren't we called Christians because we follow Christ. Hardships don't come from God, it's a consequence of the choices we've made, and sometimes it's enemy trying to deceive you that God doesn't care for you. But know that God will not allow more than what you can bare and through it all his grace is always sufficient.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to submit to his will knowing that it is sufficient, just as it was for Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. May you always find your comfort in his Holy Spirit who is your gift and promise from God. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
