Suffering

If you are trying hard to do good, no one can really hurt you.  But even if you suffer for doing right, you are blessed.
1 Peter 3:13,14


Key note; even if you suffer for doing right, you are blessed.  


I know that is true, I mean I know it in my head.  I believe it, I really do, it's just that when you are in the middle of the suffering it can be down right difficult to feel blessed.


With everything that is going on in the "world" today, there is suffering every where you look.  I see good people who have been out of work for a long time.  I see people who have always been able to pay their bills on time struggling.  I see people who can't afford to buy medicine that they desperately need.


That is suffering.


Will these people be blessed?  Definitely!  I know it!


Will I ever see it?  That I don't know.  


I do know that God's time and mine are definitely not the same.  But do I trust his word?


YES!  YES!! YES!!!!

Key to Happiness

"This is the secret to living a life of happiness.  As long as we have the assurance that Jesus Christ is in control, no trial is so great, no tempest so overwhelming, no crisis so crushing that He will not supply what is needed to weather the storm."

Quoted from Storm Warning by Billy Graham
