Suffering

It would probably seem strange to some, but the physical suffering I have felt over the past year and some months has drawn me closer to God. When I began to pray for people, and offer up my pain for the salvation of others, it gave it a purpose. Really, what greater one could there be? We prioritize things that don’t matter as humans. We like our stuff in excessive amounts. We like our labels, cars, etc and so forth. But salvation-THAT is the ultimate prize.

Life has been hard and long and it seems to be a mystery to some how I’ve managed to keep going. The simple answer is that God has held and continues to hold my hand every step of the way. To whomever may be reading this, He holds your hand too. Most importantly, He suffered a prolonged agony with the weight of the entire world world on his shoulders. Simply because He loves us that much. That’s the other reason why I keep going too.
