Accepting our suffering is difficult but like Jesus it will ultimately lead to the Father’s embrace.

“True happiness and fulfillment only come when we embrace the Creator and walk according to his ways.”  [When You Suffer, by Jeff Cavins, p.39]

“Suffering does not automatically draw us closer to God.  In fact, suffering often results in us turning away from God and concentrating wholly on ourselves.  It is enduring in the midst of suffering that develops character…. It is as if pain is a tyrant … crying, ‘Look at me, look at me!’ in those moments, you can you can either turn to yourself or you can turn to God.   

[When You Suffer, by Jeff Cavins, p.112]

May God Be Praised!
