Living Daily In Christ : Suffering / Trials

We all go through trials of many kinds in our Christian walk. Loss of a loved one, terminal illness, or physical or emotional pain. Whatever it is, it is real, it hurts, and we have many questions in the process. In these posts I don't promise that you will be healed from your suffering nor do I think a few words on a page will solve all of our difficulties in life. But what I do know is what it means to suffer and I have written these from experiences in my life that I pray will give you some hope and comfort in your journey through suffering.

I heard it said that there are three stages of a persons life. One is when you are coming out of a trial, one is when you are in a trial, and the other is when you are preparing for the next trial... I have found this to be true in my life.

Difficulties, suffering, trials, etc... Whatever the word we use to define it, they mean the same thing.
