Embrace the Suffering
June 16, 2023
I embrace the suffering. Already twice mentioned in 2 Tim chapters 1 and 2. Share the suffering. Got it.
I embrace the suffering that is promised to come for me to endure through Christ so that as I grow through whatever I go through, the trials, the pain, the hurt, the guilt, the frustration, the anger, the whatever it may be, I may exalt and uplift His name with glory and praise, so that those around me will know that the sole reason I am standing firm and confident and motivated to continue seizing the days and capturing light to radiate to others is because of God. God alone. Him, himself, Him, through brothers and sisters of Christ… everything good is from Him. And I share in suffering, because of the confidence I have that the ultimate victory is won. Eternal life. The real deal. And when I can’t grasp hope in my current circumstances, my hope come from picture of beauty in what is to come from what I suffer in that God gives me. My story that I may be confident to share with others. Life. The real deal. The real, excruciating parts. The joy that comes simultaneously with suffering in a multitude of circumstances.
I embrace the suffering.
