Fruits through Suffering...



All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.- Helen Keller
Absolutely true, the people around the world are suffering from some or the other kinds of trouble. But God outpours His love and compassion on each and everyone.
Troubles are, a part of life. In some way, or the other, everyone  of us have pain, and struggles in life. Maximum number of us will have some or other concerns; some might be having health issues, others might be having job related issues, others with family problems. Truth is that, many don't show to others that they have problem, But that's fine as, it depends on the person who is facing the problem how, he or she deals with the situation that is counted.

Suffering does not matter, pain does not seems pain if we endure those hardships hoping, to see the end result of it. God, has a purpose of pain  in my life. At times, when disappointment creeps into, my life I, start asking questions to God. He, reminded me to rejoice in my sufferings, the life of Joseph, flashes in my senses. You see, even though he had to face torture, injustice, bitterness, by his own brothers, attacked sold, persecuted. But, in all these he endured those pain and sufferings in life. He never complained or grumbled, regardless of the situations, Joseph's relation with his God never changed. In Gen, 50:21" You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the savings of man lives". Joseph knew, that Lord God is with him and one day he will come out fruitful.

The path you are treading now might be a valley dark, and deep. Life' journey is painful for everyone, it is not a bed of roses. As roses have thorns, beautiful things have thorns too. Cling on to His promises. Trust Him each day. Offer all the painful trials in His hands and embrace every discomfort you face in your life. Rejoice in your suffering, Rom 8:18" I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
My only prayer, Lord give me the strength to take up my cross and to produce spiritual fruits from my sufferings. To thank you in every situation and to be happy with my trials, so that they may blossom like divine fruits.
 Bible quote: Rom 5;3-4-" Not only so, but we also rejoice in our suffering, because we  know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts, by the Holy spirit whom he has given us".

Quote: "The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow. For every challenge encountered there is opportunity for growth".- Unknown
