Suffering In The Flesh (Part 2)

[Suffering] acts as a stimulus to growth, offers the opportunity to learn humility, and reveals a greater depth of human experience and a richer understanding of the meaning of being human. - Kristine Rankka

Suffering is a wonderful fertilizer to the roots of character. The great object of this life is character. This is the only thing we can carry with us into eternity… To gain the most of it and the best of it is the object of probation. - Austen Phelps

John 15:2 NKJV
He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

We can endure, transcend, and transform the storminess when we see the meaning and mystery of it. - Sue Monk Kidd

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
