One of the greatest acts a person can do for another person is bring relief to them when they are suffering. Yet what we find in our own experience, is that the very existence of suffering casts doubt on the very existence of God. We here some say, If God is there, he cannot be an all-loving and all-powerful God. And if there is a God, how can He allow so much suffering in the world? And if He does exist, He is not a loving God and definitely not a God who is in control. What about you as a Christian suffering? Most Christians are just like everybody else we all want to know how to avoid suffering, how to remove suffering, how to numb suffering. But few want to know how to be good at it.
Heb 10:32-39
Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering.
33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
34 You sympathised with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37 For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
NIV
