Why Do We Suffer?
Why does God allow his children to suffer?
We must always remember that God sees the big picture. He sometimes allows us to suffer because, what we go through is often used to bring glory to God. God makes no mistakes, therefore we can rely upon his wisdom in what trials he allows to come our way.
The trials we face often shape us into the person we become.
God uses trials and difficult situations to teach us things that otherwise we would never learn. We learn patience only when we have to wait. We learn to trust God when he is all that we have. We learn to love deeply when people we've loved have been taken away.
God allows suffering to bring maturity in our lives. When we go through trials and suffering, God is glorified because it is in these things that we are conformed to God himself.
God sees the big picture. He allows suffering because it may be the only way that we bring glory to God.

More Than Conquerors
" Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Though we are quick to pray and beg God to deliver us from things we are faced with, let us always remember that it is "....in all these things we are more than conquerors." Victory doesn't come from trying to escape these things, but rather when we surrender to God's plan in allowing these things to enter our lives.
Because through Christ we have the power to overcome!
Romans 8:35-39

Trust His Heart
All things work for our good. Though sometimes we don't see how they could. Struggles that break our hearts in two sometimes blind us to the truth. Our Father knows what's best for us...His ways are not our own. So when your pathway grows dim and you just don't see Him..remember you're never alone.
God is too wise to be mistaken. God is too good to be unkind. So when you don't understand, when you don't see his plan ,when you can't trace his hand..trust his heart
He sees the master plan..and he holds our future in his hands..so don't live as those who have no hope..all our hope is in the Lord. We see the present clearly, but he sees the first and last. And like a tapestry he's weaving you and me to someday be just like him.
God is too wise to be mistaken. God is too good to be unkind. So when you don't understand, when you don't see his plan, when you can't trace his hand..trust his heart!
He alone is faithful and true...He alone knows what is best for you.
