The Privilege of Suffering!

Beloved if we would see/experience our sufferings like
Paul, we must set our affection on things above, not
on things on the earth…. But you won't be able to do
that is your head is nailed to the earth, like
Sisera's!
As bad as your afflictions and sufferings may be…. remember
that that they are GIVEN to you, DESIGNED for you…. they are
NOT eternal, but momentary, and therefore not worthy to be
compared with what awaits you in heaven!
