Post suffering
June 19, 2018
Suffering time seems over. The corner has turned on the relationship crisis, job mess, family implosion, or suffering for our faith. What is God’s promise now? I Peter 5: 10. First He restores, makes us whole in our new reality. Then he supports, does a God prop up in our new normal. He can’t do that if we cling to bitterness, ‘what might have been’ thinking. Next He gives strength, because He knows we’ll have new challenges. He loves to strengthen you, show you what He can do through you. Then He establishes: deep roots, so we can run the new race. Maybe even produce a new kind of fruit. Different after suffering. Restored, strengthened, established. Better, more faith filled.
