Wow, what a great question! What matters about suffering is HOW we suffer. If, rather than giving in to the temptation to be bitter or to despair, we have faith that God will bring us through this, that He will work all things together for good (Romans 8 28), and most especially if we praise Him even in our suffering ... that brings glory to God. (Plus, Satan probably doesn't like it very much.) Offering our suffering to God, uniting it to Jesus' suffering (as explained in many of the videos on this channel) is a great way to allow God to use our suffering for His glory and for extraordinary good. In fact, I was just watching an episode of The Chosen (season 3, episode 3) where this was illustrated perfectly. In this episode, someone who was close to Jesus wanted to be healed, but Jesus hadn't healed Him. Jesus explained to Him that he would be healed ... in Heaven if not sooner ... but that for now, his trust in God even while he was suffering would be an extraordinary witness. That's just one example of how God can use our suffering for His glory ... but there's so much more. I hope you'll explore the videos on this channel. It takes a while to wrap your head around this (or at least it's taken a while for me), but here are a couple videos to start with: https://clikview.com/watch/why....-do-we-offer-up-suff and https://clikview.com/watch/wha....t-does-it-mean-to-qu God bless you!
