suffering?

the book i’m reading says i’m selfish or whatever for thinking that God will give me health and happiness and ‘heaven on earth’.. haha!! I actually think there’s something in the bible about it.. ‘your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven’.. ‘the purpose driven life’ is a good book, but I think he’s just wrong sometimes.. saying yer selfish for wanting God to give you health and happiness and that life is about suffering or whatever he said, I don’t buy it.. he said you shouldn’t want it ‘easy’, that God doesn’t make things easy.. but hey! i think there’s something in the bible about that too… ‘my yoke is EASY, my burden is light..’ I know that Jesus said there would be tribulations, but I think that has more to do with the devil, not because God isn’t trying to give you freedom and ease. I have faith in all the wonderful things that God is giving me! I don’t think He wants suffering for me, perish the thought.. I think the idea of suffering with or for Jesus is a totally different thing than being sick or broke or whatever earthly suffering one can think of. Jesus wants us to RELATE to Him, that’s a different matter. Take up your cross daily is not being sick.. I can’t really speak on what it is tho hehe, I’m just a baby Christian. As a matter of fact I shouldn’t even be giving opinions like this.. I’m not qualified. but the fact is that I HAVE opinions like this, so I’m writing about them even tho that might be wrong. butterflies, don’t listen to me lol and nobody else reads my page.. it’s just that I believe in what JESUS said ‘your kingdome come..’ not that suffering stuff it said in the book. I know it says stuff in the bible about suffering Jesus’ sufferings and such, but obviously that doesn’t mean suffering YOUR sufferings, coz in the bible it says that God is mighty to save.. hey, I know there’s alot of suffering in the world, but you know what God said to me about that? He said things aren’t supposed to be that way, that people are supposed to be one with God.. so that says to me that there is hope of no suffering when you are one with God.. not suffering with God anyway.. I don’t believe God wants us to suffer. I trust God that way. heaven on earth? that’s what Jesus prayed, so I’m going with it.. but hey, you know what they say, opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one and everybody thinks everybody else’s stinks lol..

  2. I dont believe God WANTS us to suffer.
    But suffering is a part of life and when we DO have to endure suffering,God is there for us.He keeps us afloat and He gives us the strength to cope.* I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me*
    Jesus suffered for us all so that we will have everlasting life.
