There are many Christians who believe that once they become a Christian, their lives are set for bliss and nothing but good things from then on out. In the Bible we find that walking with Christ includes suffering. Suffering takes many forms, though what may be minor to some, may be life changing to another. Just ask any teenager. Here we find encouragement, but more than that, facts that we have the strength to overcome suffering. Furthermore, that suffering is good for us.
