Overjoyed
There’s a joke about marriage. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering. It seems that when people enter the gate of the marriage, they need to prepare for the third ring, that’s suffering.
But, where is on life that has no suffering? If marriage is having a risk of suffering, how about single life? Will there be no suffer while being single?
Whether a baby, child, teenager, adult, or elder people, all will have to experience suffering.
Suffering isn’t something strange according to the bible. Don’t be surprised of it. And we need to rejoice while participating in the suffering of Christ, so that we can be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
--- 1 Peter 4:12-13
