Foretaste of heavenly life
Don't have to die before our time, until all that God is ready to take us to heaven
Don't have to fear when we have the Holy Spirit
God is not the cause of suffering, but He allows it.. and He will be there personally with us
We seek the Lord when we are down
It's in down time tt we know who are the real friends
God wants us to invite Him to our situation
When we pray, God will give us a supernatural grace
Suffering is necessary ingredient in the transformation process
A love tt cannot take suffering is not genuine
Romans 8
Romans 8 16
Romans 8 18
Suffering and glory is the flip side of the same coin
1.
If we don't have suffering, we could be not a threat to Satan
2.
Sacrifice self desires
Only through suffering we will learn the will of God
3.
God wants to mould us.. but sometimes breaking need to take place before building
Hebrews 12
Hebrews 12 10
When we are suffering, God is not punishing, but a correction discipline
Jesus experienced an inner joy in the night He was betrayed
