I have been asked many times why I have dealt with so much physical suffering in my life? I am not 100% sure, but I know God has taught me many lessons during my health journey. Beautiful lessons I would never trade. Here are a few lessons I have learned about suffering during my medical journey.
Suffering prepares us to help others. I have been blessed with the opportunity to walk with many people during their health journey.
Suffering helps us grow in our walk with God. My relationship with God has grown so much during my health journey.
Suffering can bring relationships closer. My wife Laura and I have watched our marriage grow during my health journey. I am a better husband.
Suffering conforms us into God’s image. When people are suffering, the encouraging words from someone who has dealt with suffering can bring beautiful hope.
Remember, if we seek God through His word and prayer, we will find Him. God understands our pain because he too suffered. ~OC
