Am I Supposed to Feel Grateful for My Suffering?
Description
I often hear that people wouldn’t trade their suffering because of the closer relationship with God it produced, but my relationship with God didn’t improve after I had cancer, and I wish it had never happened. Should I be worried about my faith?
Greg and Amy explain that suffering does not always make Christians feel closer to God. Sometimes its value becomes clear only with time, while other hardships may remain difficult to understand until the next life. Rather than feeling guilty, Christians can trust that God is working for their good even when they cannot see how.
