Sharing you this thought, hoping that It'll bring you some encouragement as it did on me just this morning.
GOD'S HAND
Sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow
We must (be) fail in order to grow
We must lose in order to gain
Some lessons are learned best only through pain
Sometimes our vision clears
Only after our eyes were washed with tears
Sometimes we have to be broken
So we can be tender
Sick so we can rest and think better
On things more important than work, fun
Trip near death so we can assess how we’ve run
Sometimes we have to suffer lack
So we know God’s provision
Feel another’s pain so we can have sense of mission
So take heart my friend if you don’t understand today
Instead of grumbling, ask God what He means to say
In order to learn you must endure
And learn to see the bigger picture
In order to grow you must stand
That takes what is good and gives what is best
And on this blessed thought, rest
As your anxious heart with questions waits
God’s hand only gives what His loving heart dictates…
...We are subjected to pain and suffering at times and life is never complete without it..But after the storm, we are stronger and we are victorious.

Amen - wonderful message here.
I thank the Lord for the trials and tribulations in my life because I know I am growing stronger and wiser from them and will be better prepared for the big battle to come.

..when we are suffering.. or even having a down day, is the best time to be yield, yield, yielding to Him.. It's when we most should be doing so.. as it yields the most benefit.. And because God is Life itself (the great spirit, spark and breath of life) He suffers, lives through and experiences all sufferings which ever occur..
- As to humans, yes it seems as f those who have not suffered can become, well, insufferable! And may lack compassion, etc.. But sooner or later sufferings of one sort or another come to us all, and it is a good thing that it does.. It's also a paradox that we can go around thinking, expecting and wondering when the "ax will fall" - but we don't have to do this.. Especially if we know the Lord, as He has suffered for us.. and carries our sufferings and shortcomings, etc.. and we now have more reason to expect blessings rather than the metaphoric ax to fall.. but humility comes through life's struggles, and is a desireable trait..
