Partakers of His Suffering

…but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.

The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”

Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”

“The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true.” -Abraham Lincoln

big party at the DeFrancos house!  Story of party getting out of control quickly.

there are so many things that look accurate but have no truth in it at all.
example: “Good things happen to good people”, “Follow Jesus and your life will be perfect” God has never promised a perfect life with no troubles. In fact, he says that once you become a Christian your trials will continue and possibly get tougher. BUT….you now have hope. You have hope because you know the end. You know that with what ever you face you can and WILL Overcome with Jesus. . May not be on your time, but as a follower of Jesus you know that you are forgiven and that ultimately you will have all of your troubles and debts paid off.
So, is it going to be easy?……. Nope, will we win?…..yep!

Here is another quote from a president from our bible Devi: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

God is not controlled by fear. Have courage thru trials by trusting God.
