Suffering shows up in different forms – physical, mental, emotional, etc. Whatever the case, suffering refers to some sort of hardship, pain or distress, and we all can testify that we’ve been there. Maybe you’re there right now. You may have sought God earnestly to deliver you from something, and He may be saying that His grace is sufficient. It’s now clear to me that while God does not necessarily orchestrate every hardship we face, He does permit them. Why? Well, that’s some of what we’re about to dive into. To keep today’s post relatively short, I will be sharing just four lessons I’ve learnt on suffering to help you reframe your suffering : Past, Present & Future.

Lies don’t have any power if we don’t believe them.
You Must Choose.
Would YOU be content if the only people that understood you for a season were you and God? Of course everyone wants to be understood, but what is the reason behind your need to explain yourself?… Is it primarily to cover the other person for their benefit? Or is it because you want to correct their perception of you? Why are you adamant about proving your self? Let’s talk about people-pleasing.

“Is What I see not enough?”

A Worthy Commendation
I’ll be honest with you, As I write this, I’m keenly aware of the fact that this particular post may be a lot more healing for me than for any of you. Or maybe just the same.
