Our culture likes to tell us that we should all be happy all the time and people are surprised when they can’t obtain that happiness. Even Christians want to believe that, once they come to Christ, life should be rosy and light. But Jesus taught something else. In John 16:33, He said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!”
We are all going to suffer. It’s what we do with our suffering that makes the difference! Let me share three things that will help you survive your season of suffering.
