Glory in Sufferings<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Maybe we’ve experienced some heavy burdens.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And it’s so hard for us to get through those moments.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the midst of the world which offer instant culture and comfort, it seems that the word ‘suffering’ become the most avoidable thing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But many times, those suffering and adversities bring us closer to the Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And if we can glorify God through those unpleasant things, isn’t it great?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully we’re not trying to run away from suffering, but face it courageously with Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not only so, but we<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>also glory in our sufferings,because we know that suffering produces perseverance;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>4\u00a0<\/span>perseverance, character; and character, hope.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— Romans 5:3-4<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span>Bermegah dalam Kesengsaraan<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Mungkin kita pernah mengalami beban yang sungguh berat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dan kita merasa begitu sulit melewati masa-masa itu.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Di tengah dunia yang menawarkan budaya instan serta kenyamanan, agaknya kata penderitaan menjadi sesuatu yang paling dihindari.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, ternyata banyak kali, kesengsaraan atau penderitaan itu membawa kita lebih dekat kepada Tuhan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dan jika kita pun bisa memuliakan Tuhan melalui hal-hal yang kurang mengenakkan tersebut, bukankah akan lebih baik?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga kita tidak berusaha lari dari penderitaan, namun dengan berani menghadapinya bersama Kristus.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/span>Dan bukan hanya itu saja. Kita malah bermegah juga dalam kesengsaraan<\/span>\u00a0kita<\/span>, karena kita tahu, bahwa kesengsaraan itu menimbulkan ketekunan,<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>5:4<\/span><\/a>\u00a0dan ketekunan menimbulkan tahan uji dan tahan uji menimbulkan pengharapan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— Roma 5:3-4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
