Glory in Suffering
Still the topic that I encountered recently, a blog of a fabulous young man-Rheza Christian (http://gayot.posterous.com/) who had a rare cancer and died on 13th of September 2011, made me really see how human being can still be able to glorify the Lord even in their sufferings. Rheza had written 5 articles. All precious and could become a legacy that would last for long time. He has shown the world how to face suffering without self-pity. But instead found some good points to value life, family, friends, and strengthen others.
Nobody likes the word ‘suffering’. But it’s unavoidable in our life. Many times, suffering is actually a tool to make us stronger if only we see it in faith’s perspective. To glorify the Lord, we need to face the sufferings bravely. Because we believe that suffering is eventually will produce perseverance; perseverance-character; and character will produce hope.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
--- Romans 5:3-4
