Suffering
is inescapable. Most people experience a balance between suffering and pleasure
which life generates for each of us. Very few people enjoy suffering or
deliberately seek it out, yet there are those who seem to be stuck in its
embrace. Resilience is a character attribute that makes it possible to manage suffering.
Listen to Saint Paul from Philippians
3. "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of sharing in his suffering." This empowered Paul to finish the
task Jesus commissioned him to do. Listen to his determination. "I press
on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
Resilience is so ingrained that giving up is unthinkable.
You can be empowered by Christ Jesus
to endure hardships and suffering. Regardless of how drastic your situation may
be, God will help you reap the benefits of growing stronger in your faith as
you mature, grow stronger, become kinder, and learn to care for others. Achieving
these strengths of character is a worthy objective.
