Suffering is not wasted. God is working through it for eternal purpose.

Paul speaks honesty here about suffering. Faith does not remove hardship but it does give it purpose. Our present pain is real but it is temporary compared to the glory God is preparing. Even in weakness, the Spirit helps us.

God works through every circumstance to shape us into the image of Christ. Nothing is wasted in His hands.
