My favorite scripture says, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” - Romans 8:18 No one likes to suffer. No one wants to hurt on a daily basis. But sometimes hurting makes us realize we can’t do this life on our own. Sometimes it makes us realize that everyone hurts at some point in their life and we need to try and understand their suffering. Only when we suffer do we understand the fullness of humanity and learn to have compassion for one another.
