Suffering
Day 25 - Reflect on 1 Peter 4:12
Based on 1 Peter 4:12 - “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.”
Never promised a life of ease
Never promised life without trials
Never promised life without suffering
But promised, are we, all of these
For as Jesus suffered for our sake
We will suffer for His namesake
But in and through each suffering
Promised great love are we
Promised never to be alone
Each suffering brings clarity
Of God’s great love for us
Teaching us how to become
More like Jesus, our Lord
So look at each suffering
See Jesus suffering for you
See our salvation in His suffering
See His great love that upholds you
