I hate suffering.
Physical.
Mental.
Emotional.
All of it.
Paul was glad for his suffering.
Glad to suffer for the Lord.
Does it hurt less if you are glad for suffering?
I wish I could be glad for suffering.
But I am scared.
If I ask God to make me glad for suffering,
will it hurt?
Must I suffer to serve the Lord?
Or will fear hold me back?
God has a plan.
I will do his will.
But does that still mean I must suffer?
Was just thinking about this topic, as it was confirmed, no basketball for Geoffrey, not even the 2nd portion of the season because of headaches.

I, too, do not like suffering. I'd rather face it myself than have to watch those I love.
Definately a difficult topic!
