SUFFERING
Why do wg suffer and what can we
do about it? If we sin, we know that
we shall suffer and if we break the
laws of nature, we shall find suffer-
ing waiting for us. But sometimes
the righteous, who are not conscious
of sinning more than their happy
neighbors, suffer and experience great
troubles. Jesus tells us that there is
discussed by 32 speakers, not count- such a thing as suffering coming to

Knight, Temple; and Sam P. Harbin, j to draw you closer to God? We pray
I more when we are in trouble; we call
our minds away from all of the hustle
and hurry of life and place them upon
God and the things of religion when
sorrow comes our way. Trouble does
draw us closer to the Master.
When you think of the good that
comes by suffering, remember that
God does not lead you to sorrow and
trouble to leave you there, but that
He leads you through your sorrow
and trouble to the riches beyond. He
is the One who carries you over the
trials to their meaning and wortn.
Now, what can we do about our
suffering? How should we act when
we suffer? If the sufferer is not a
Christian, there is nothing for him
to do but to bear his sufferings unles,
he turns to Christ who is ever willing
to receive him. There is much comfor;.
for the Christian who is in trouble
The New Testament does not concern
itself to any degree with the reason
for suffering and pain but it does tell
us that God shares our suffering.
God shares our suffering! Can you not
feel the burden grow lighter? Man
"Suffered for ages and God sent Christ
into the world not to explain very
much about the ‘why’ of suffering, but
to share our suffering with us and to
show us how to act under our bur-
dens. Wheh trouble comes your way,
realize that Christ is sharing your
sorrow and that He asks you to cast
your burdens upon Him and that He
will give you peace. Then stop trying
to bear your twn burdens; they will
crush you. Cast your burdens upon the
Lord and tell Him that you want
peace, then turn loose and trust Him
completely. The important, thing is to
trust Christ enough to allow Him to
take care of your troubles.
When undeserved suffering visit.*
you, do not try to understand why you
should be forced to suffer and do not
always say that God sent it. But try
to find some use of this suffering such
as an opportunity to be able to sym-
pathize with others in trouble or an
opportunity to draw closer to God.
And above all, when undeserved
suffering comes to. you, remember that
God is sharing that trouble with you
and ^hen cast your burden on Christ
who will give you peace that will star-
tle you and all others.
