Sufferings

What if you're in the middle of suffering? Will you feel painful and hopeless about it?
Let me tell you what Saint Faustina thought about suffering.
She thought that suffering is the greatest treasure on earth - it cleanse our soul. In suffering, we understand who our true friend is. The true love can only be measured by the suffering's thermometer.
It's amazing, isn't it?

While so many of us keep complaining about something wrong in our life- not to mention the suffering itself, Saint Faustina reminds us to look at it from different perspective.
It's a treasure, but we still don't know about it yet.
Like what the bible said, these present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

So, in times of trouble, in the middle of stormy days, in these present sufferings that we're facing right now, don't loose hope. Keep on trusting God and believe that we'll find the treasure and the glory in the future. He knows His Plan for us.
(-fon-)

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
--- Romans 8:18
