Living according to His words and will is not easy but it is worth it. Being a Christian doesn’t mean that we will not encounter any sufferings in our lives and that everything will be smooth and easy. Suffering is still a possibility. As His believer, we can be easily judged. I remember one of my mentees mentioned that during his discussion with one of his clients, the response he received was: “Christian ka pa naman, hayaan mo na lang”. We will be tested in many ways – patience, kindness and even compassion. And when we are on the side of suffering, sometimes it is not easy but we have to move on and give our full trust and surrender to the Lord. Let’s continue to be faithful because God promises that He will reward the faithful by receiving us into His eternal Kingdom one day where there is no persecution and that one day, we will be rewarded for enduring those undeserved trials. The blessings do not stop when suffering begins. Experiencing difficulties for the sake of godliness is a blessing.
