May the joy and peace of Christ reign over the entire Steemit community.
Why does God allow suffering in the life of a Christian? Simply because suffering prepares and perfects us in various ways. External pressure increases internal pressure. We feel that darkness takes time to disperse, pain increases and disappointment continues indefinitely.
However, in the spiritual field we do not have to give in to increasing pressures. We can deactivate them by placing them on the altar of God and letting them heal our wounds.
The different tests that go beyond our ability to control show us that we are simply not omnipotent, but God is. Suddenly, we are very aware of our need for Him and his eternal wisdom, which exceeds ours. We need a savior. Someone bigger than our biggest fear. Someone who can take care of all our needs. Only through his grace can we learn the truth about suffering: that God uses it to help us experience his immense love.
He may face a moment of suffering and believe that emotional pain is more than he can bear. Or maybe it is a series of disappointments and frustrations. Instead of being afraid, a frequent trick of the devil to keep him from God's will, ask the Lord to show you what he intends to do at this specific point in his life.
A brilliant preacher, named Charles Spurgeon, wrote: "God knows that soldiers are made exclusively for battle, and that they are not cultivated or grown in peacetime. We can cultivate the material that soldiers are made of, but warriors are really polite with the smell of gunpowder, amid rains of bullets and cannons. " Doesn't God develop in you the best qualities of the soldier every time he throws you into the heat of battle? For that reason, you can leave each battle as more than a winner.
I recommend that you keep your full trust in God, because He knows what you need in each process of suffering you have to go through.
