You will be consoled according to the greatness
of your sorrow and affliction; the greater the suffering, the greater will be
the reward. --Sant
Mary Magdalen de'Pazzi
We are all going to go through
sufferings in our life either today or in the days to come. For most of us
suffering has started suddenly because of pandemic through job loss or family
problem or financial problem or health problem.
No matter what we are going through we
have to thank Jesus for allowing it in our life so that through it something
good is going to spring out from our life. Suffering is nothing but
purification process in our life, if we are purified when we are living, we do
not have to worry about purification which will happen after our death. Few
blessed ones get opportunity to get purified from their sinful life when they
are living and because of that opportunity they are saved and their family is
saved and also thousands of people who listen to them are saved.
If a person is unwilling to go through
sufferings and says I love you Jesus , then that person is a liar because Jesus
said in His Word that whoever wants to become my disciple has to deny
themselves and carry their cross and follow Him. Cross Jesus is mentioning is
nothing but suffering.
Sometimes pain in our life mounts so
much that we think we are going to perish but Jesus is by our side and gives us
strength to bear the pain and also consoles us through His Word. In midst of
suffering if we are not having habit of reading Bible then we are going to
pierce ourselves with unbearable pain.
We have to understand that every
suffering coming in our life if we try to bear it with our human strength we
will surely fail, if we seek God’s strength through His Word then surely we
will be able to go through it joyfully.
Suffering coming in our life may be of
low degree or high degree according to the purpose and plan God has for us.
Greater the plan of God for us, greater will be our suffering, greater the
suffering, greater will be our reward.
God has designed human beings in such a
way that they can bear more pain than pleasure, that’s why God allows suffering
in our life to make our life meaningful and great. We may be ordinary people
before the suffering but if we accept the suffering and bear the pain with joy
then surely we will become someone great and blessed only because of God’s doing
in our life.
