Thriving in Suffering: Why Suffering Doesn’t Have to Rob You of Joy
We often hear about people’s experiences of suffering after they’ve come out of it. But is it possible to have real joy in the midst of real suffering? Can you be honest about you [physical—emotional—mental—spiritual] pain without being a slave to it? Yes! Christ not only offers His example of sober joy in intense pain, but He enters in with us. He sent His Spirit to enable us to joyfully endure anything for the sake of the Kingdom.
