Suffering is not God's desire for us, but occurs in the process of life. |
|||
Suffering is not given to punish us, but is sometimes the consequence of poor judgement. |
|
|||
Suffering is not given to us to teach others something, but through it they may learn. |
||||
|
Suffering does not occur because our faith is weak, but through it our faith may be strengthened. |
|||
God does not depend on human suffering to achieve God's purposes, but through it God's purposes are sometimes achieved. |
||||
Suffering is not always to be avoided at all costs, but is sometimes chosen. |
||||
Suffering can either destroy us or add meaning to our life. |
||||
The will of God has more to do with how we respond to life than with how life deals with us. |
