Good To Be Afflicted >: (950 hits)

No One Like To Suffer.

If It Were Up To Us,

We Would Probably

Choose To Enjoy Nothing

But Ease And Prosperity.



If Lessons Need To Be

Learned, Don't Make Us

Learn Them The Hard Way!



But The Inescapable Truth,

In Principle As Well As In

Our Experience, Is That

The Pain Of Life Can Be A

Great Teacher.



When We're In Pain, We're

More Likely To Look Beyond

Ourselves For Help.



Our Neediness Can Drive Us

To God, Both For Comfort

And For His Wise Solutions

To Our Problems.



A Sincere Follower Of The

Lord Is Willing To Be Taught

Wisdom And To Look For The

Lessons In Affliction.



When We're Open To The

Hidden Gifts Of Coming To

The End Of Our Rope, We

Can Actually Be Grateful

For Our Trials < Ro 5:3-5 >

[But The Inescapable Truth, In Principle As Well As In Our Experience, Is That The Pain Of Life Can Be A Great Teacher.]

Sister Nila thanks again for this blog because I find truth in it especially the above verse. Although I hate pain and suffering it is inevitable at times. I've found myself in various trials and tribulations because the Bible states that many are the afflictions of the Righteous, but God delivers us out of them all; (And) He has been so faithful to just that for me so many times! Currently as I speak, I'm going through a bit of a trial and I'm looking beyond the pain of the experience to what I might learn but at the same time I'm looking to Him to get me beyond this point in my life.
