Suffering is to be expected







I used to think that if I was suffering I was doing something wrong. That message is completely contrary to scripture. There will be suffering! There will be tribulations! My trials are God’s tools for your growth! 

Without the year of HELL I have gone through, I’d never understand suffering of this magnitude. I’d think depression was kind of dumb. Get out of bed! Just snap out of it! Don’t you trust God? If you did, you wouldn’t feel this. 

It’s all terribly broken theology and doesn’t walk hand-in-hand with the Jesus of the Bible who suffered and had to go off and get quiet and alone and set boundaries many many times to remain in his calling. 

Suffering sucks. 

But it isn’t going anywhere until the perfection of heaven.
