I know that it is a terrible thing to talk about suffering in an essence of pleasure. In the Bible, the same verse that talked about suffering is said to count it as joy when it happens (James 1:1) and that in the end something good eventually comes out of it. The bizarre thing is that suffering is a part of blessings that we should accept joyfully. With suffering comes a renewed perspective that builds character. However in enduring suffering, we see not the end result but the trials in different forms. Such trials leads us to greater heights, weathering the storms and coming into fruition-the burst of newness and the better hope for tomorrow. In hindsight, we were never alone. We have just entered through Christ's suffering into another new dimension of faith.
