Value of Sufferings


Few days ago, I received a text from my friend. The message that struck me was:

“I won’t dare to question God for the reasons of my sufferings and anguish because I never tried to question Him whenever I feel happy and fortunate.”

There were instances in my life that I did question God. It’s when difficulties seem to weaken me. I felt guilty because my only focus was the problem. I was so proud that I’ve failed to look deeper into my imperfect human nature.

Our Lord is holy and perfect but He chose to live, suffer, and die for each one of us. How marvelous is His love!

I need to be more trusting to God. I need to give Him the freedom to change me and make me a better person through my own sufferings.
