Suffering is relative…the Hager family has had a rough year, but it pales in comparison to so many others…but, it is sort of like puppy-love – it is real to the puppies!
Here’s a great insight into suffering:
“Suffering helps us look for our Savior. If we never have any trouble along the journey, we would never have any reason to long for Heaven. Like the Israelites, we need the house of bondage to help drive us to the Promised Land.”
– Philip Graham Ryken, Exodus: Saved for God’s Glory (Wheaton, Ill.; Crossway Books, 2005), 37.
