Suffering is the worse experience because you can’t control when it starts or ends. Most times there is no warning and we can’t find a reason as to why the suffering is taking place. We always view it as a punishment. We always look to which sin we committed that would bring about such suffering. We then begin to blame God for the suffering. A lot of people will turn from God during this season. Suffering is 1 of the main reasons people reject God. They can’t understand why God allows suffering especially to kids, old people etc…The answer is simple. Suffering is apart of life and good people don’t escape it. Being in a suffering season doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. How you act during the suffering dictates your character. Did you keep talking to God during your season of suffering? Did you pause and listen to God’s response? Were you patient in God’s plan? Did you keep faith in God during this suffering season? Did you remain thankful for the things you do have during the season of suffering?

A season of suffering is about growth in God. It’s about self control during the hardest moments. Being able to still lead with love in the darkest moments. Most people wear their suffering like a badge of honor because they’re able to live and tell the story. Without suffering there would be no wisdom. Life is not a joy ride its about discovering the God within you. Being able to display God outward being an example for others that are lost.
