Knowing That Suffering Produces Endurance,

That is not to say we should go out and look or pray
for suffering because the world has suffering on its
own. When suffering does come to us, it is better to
embrace it and trust God through it. Rather than have
the attitude of woe is me Lord or why me Lord, we are
better served by saying why not me Lord. Why not me
rather than someone who is unable to endure suffering.
As someone who has endured much suffering I have
never blamed or turned from God. Always I have had
the attitude as: Lord I am in your hands, your will and
not mine be done. Somewhat like Jesus did on the way
to the cross. I am not saying this to boast, not at all but
when we really trust God our trials become smaller rather
than bigger. Does that mean we should not pray for each
other; not so. We pray for strength and endurance and
support those who need help. Let us come to a place
where we are unencumbered by threats of evil and with
solid faith grasp God's perpetual love.

Oh but you do boast dear one. Yes, you are boasting of our Father's love and care for us each through all we are given to do and experience for His glory.

You say "why me," and I beliee you also understand and lIke I say, Who am I." People are suffering and oppressed in one form or another everywhere, so who am I to say anything but Thank You to our Father no matter what. It really is easy once w realize it is the only sacrifice we are truly able to give to our Father, thanksgiving that is.



You have wonderful messages always. Thank you DR for your holy care for others in Jesus, eshua..thank you.
