Moments with my First Love [UNDER REVISION]

MOMENT 36: Beauty of Suffering

Are you carrying something today?
Maybe it is a:
- Problem
- Pain
- Struggles
- Worries
- Lackingness
- Tiredness

You are the topic in this message!
You are the protagonist today!

Problems or sufferings will never be gone in the life of a person whether they are a Christian or not.

Look at this:
Even the babies have their own problem. If they can't sleep, it is a problem for them or if they are hungry, it is a problem for them on how they can say it to their moms in order for them to be understand.

A child also have a problem. How can they ask for a penny to their parents without making them mad? Right?

When I was still a child, it is always my problem how to ask for money in my mom without making her mad at me. So, I will begin to construct sentence on how to ask her before I do. Haha!

Teenagers also have their problems too. Others are problematic when will they have their boyfriend or girlfriend. Well, most of them.

Others are problematic with their studies, on how to make their 75 grade into 76. Just kidding...

Or they are problematic with their upcoming exams because they are not yet reviewing their notes.

Even young adults have their problems.
It can be in their job. Their businesses. Or on their family.

Our mothers/fathers also have problems. How to earn money for their family? How can they provide enough for their children's needs?

Even churches have problems as well. The pastors. The leaders...

As the saying goes like this: Life is a twin of problems.

People say that when a twin lost his/her other twin, there will be tendency that the other will also die as well.
So don't kill your problem, else, you will also die. (If you get this, thank you very much. Haha!)

A human is always accompanied by a problem. So think for a second if you don't have any problem, then maybe you are not a human? Or maybe you are not alive?

According to Genesis 8:22, "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease."

While the earth is existing and while you are in it, you will always  experience cold, winter or night time.. It is not always harvest, heat, summer or daytime.

You are in a problemship since birth!

We should know the goodness in having these problems in our lives. There is a Beauty in Sufferings.

Everyone's problem are different, but we all need the same Jesus.

What is SUFFERING?
- A pain that is cause by injury, illness, lost, etc.
- physical, mental or emotional pain

"Why? Why should I need to experience suffering?" —this is always the question we ask when we experience sufferings but remember:

"Suffering is not a question which demands an answer, it is not a problem which requires a solution. It is a mystery which requires the Presence of Jesus." (Vaneetha Risner)

When we says MYSTERY it means, we should know why it is (suffering) existing.

Luke 22:39-46 says "And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation.
