Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey

Being Christian doesn’t mean being exempt from suffering, but it does mean we have the opportunity to suffer differently from the world.

Since suffering is definitely a part of our life in this world, we need to know how to help others and ourselves.

If we trust God, suffering has redemptive qualities which God uses to bring glory(a manifestation of God’s character), maturity, compassion, understanding and faith into a believer’s life.

2Co 4:17 This light, temporary nature of our suffering is producing for us an everlasting weight of glory, far beyond any comparison.

Jesus invites us to join Him and share His sufferings.

Mat 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continually.
