Yes, we suffer.
We are living for God in a world which has rejected him.People that have rejected Him, Places that reject Him, and Things that reject Him.
We share the suffering of Christ.
But there is no power in earth or heaven which can stop God loving us now.
Every dimension of creation—life and death, the invisible powers of the supernatural and everything that exists in time and space—is subject to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves.
Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.
Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs.
In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory.
But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
NLT
The Future Glory
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
NLT
18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
Despite anything we have done or ANYTHING DONE TO US God is waiting for us to connect with him through Christ so that He can utilize this suffering Glorification, healing, restoration, and most importantly salvation.
:16 And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin.
For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins.

We don’t have a problem blaming God for suffering in resentment and anger, why is it that we have a problem believing it is for more than we can see.
That is why I spent time with what we cannot see in Gods creation last week
God uses suffering to mature us in Christ.
4. God uses suffering to mature us in Christ.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Persevering leads us to divine appointment you’ve never dreamed of
5. Persevering allows us to comfort others
Video of Nick
God brings us through suffering so we can comfort others who are suffering.
: 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.
When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.

The best burden-bearers are the ones who’ve needed someone to carry their burdens in the past.
Read this about a pastor’s hindsight.
Pastor stated: Growing up with a healthy body I never knew one day my life and ministry would include encouraging the hurting and helping those who care for the hurting.
I am in constant pain—each day I feel burning sensations and sharp pains in both of my arms.
I can’t put on my seatbelt, open a bottle of water, button my shirt, or shake hands with my friends.
In the past couple of years I have begun to feel similar symptoms starting in my legs.
Some days the pain is agonizing.
Most nights I struggle to sleep.
Depression has engulfed me on more than one occasion.

Sometimes I cant come up with words and this pastors statement is for all of you
And yet!
God’s grace is seen in the bright rays of light that shine through opportunities he has given me to encourage others.
He has granted me grace to pastor out of weakness and witness to others about his unrelenting love.
I never would have chosen or dreamed of a ministry like this—the Lord has done marvelous things.
God moves through weakness and suffering and not in spite of it.
7. God moves through weakness and suffering and not in spite of it.
Christianity teaches us then, that the goal is not to eliminate pain and weakness (in this life), but for God to work in and through you in your pain.
Paul had a thorn in his flesh and asked God multiple times but it remained.
One could wonder how amazing Paul’s ministry would be if Paul didn’t have his thorn.
But God didn’t use Paul despite his thorn, but through his thorn.
God moves not in spite of our suffering, but through our suffering.
Weakness is God’s way of moving in this world.
even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God.
So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need.
My power works best in weakness.”
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
NLT
7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
8 We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.
