What I Learned Through Loss
The deaths of two of our children taught us how to run to
God, not away from Him when we face tragedy.How do you think about your suffering? Have you thought about it?
Is your first response when something difficult comes into your life to do everything you can to get rid of it? To call everyone you know to pray to ask God to take it away? For most of us, it is.
In the Bible, here is how Peter told us to think about suffering: “Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like Him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want” (1 Pet. 4:1-–2, The Message).
