Romans 5:3-4
We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope.
Ang tunay na pagdurusa when handled in a godly way produces perseverance. Perseverance and character give hope. So meron naman palang magandang kauuwian ang pagdurusa. Kaya lang dapat positive ang pananaw natin.
Kung may suffering, isipin natin na lang na para itong isang cross to carry o kaya ay isang Golgotha na dapat akyatin. Nobody goes to heaven without going to Golgotha first. Wala namang nagkakaroon ng resurrection kung hindi muna namamatay. So, with every death that we go through because of our sufferings, there is resurrection that balances it. Yan ang ganda ng buhay.
Kung minsan, the people who have the best character ay yung mga lumaki sa hirap. Bukas ang isip at puso nila sa nararamdaman ng mga kapuspalad. Kaya sila nagiging maawain. Pero kung laki sa sarap at laki sa layaw, hindi nila alam ang pagdurusa ng iba. They become insensitive because they do not know.
Pero meron din namang lumaki sa hirap na ang mga slogan ay “Balang araw, babangon ako’t dudurugin kita” o di kaya’y “Bukas, luluhod ang mga tala.” Ito naman ang negative effect ng lumalaki ka sa hirap. Puede ka ring maging bitter. But Christians, hindi dapat ganon ang pananaw natin. Difficulties must not make us bitter but better. Because you now understand people who go through such difficulties, you can be kinder and nicer and gentler.
If you are blessed through this ministry, you could now take your turn to be the blessing to many others.
With your helpful support, more people could be reached with the messages of delight, strength and hope.
