Have you ever been in a situation where you would do anything just to avoid pain? Did you try to run away from all the suffering because you just don’t want to face it? Jesus suffered too, and defeated death but was faithful! Faith is not faith without suffering. Pain and suffering are often necessary to bring out the potential that God has for us. Even though He didn’t promise a life without suffering, He did promise that He would never forsake us and stay by our side always.
