Worthy of my Suffering

What is it that God wants to accomplish through your suffering? As you travel through the storm of this season how is the Lord drawing you deeper into a relationship with Him? My eyes fill with tears as I write out these words and become reminded of the immense storms that the Lord has allowed in my life. The deep suffering I have felt in my soul, the dying of my flesh that has birthed a refined version of me, and the greatest fruit that has been accounted for through those suffering waves was the Lord’s whisper; His hand reaching out calling me to take a step closer to Him, to go deeper with Him, to find myself weeping at His feet. It is in that place that the suffering is worth it. It is in that place that you hear the voice of the Lord say “you are worthy of this suffering.” And it is in that place that you cry out to the Lord and say “No Lord you are worthy of my suffering.” Because you recognize your iniquities, when you are in the presence of perfection you understand what it is that you deserve, and what little burden you bare in that moment is not worthy to be compared to the glory that is before you.

Suffering well is…
