Suffering Servants

img_8931God's Servants are servants who know how to suffer well.

Are you suffering today? People aren't entirely themselves when they are suffering. When a person is in a lot of pain they just aren't the same as what and who God Created them to be. But something beautiful happens in the cocoon of suffering. An element of beauty that already resided inside gets revealed and is no longer concealed in God's marvelous Light. There is beauty in suffering--no matter what the source. Christ was a Suffering Servant. You may wonder, who would want to walk with Christ if it means I am called to Sacrifice and Suffering? All persons of the earth suffer. There are no exceptions. All have Seasons of it, some may be more extreme or prolonged than others. But then there is the Suffering Servant who has Peace and Rivers of Joy in the midst of their suffering and it draws others to the Peace and Love of God. Think right now of a time you have endured...what nugget of gold did you gain from what you went through. Wisdom? Patience? Strength?

Suffering comes to us all, but not all suffer well. As dearly loved children of God...shift your crown...you are absolute royalty...smile...and endure. The pain you feel will not last forever and God will use it to produce merit.

Prayer:
"Be comforted, encouraged and may the Grace of Heaven be the wind in your face as He shifts your circumstances and replaces them with healing, restoration and Grace. Amen."

I'm in your corner, cheering you on this day!

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:10
