Romans 8:16-19

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering. -St. Augustine:

Pain insists upon being attended to: God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world. -C.S. Lewis

SUFFERING REMINDS ME THAT PAIN IS TEMPORARY, GLORY IS FOREVER.

The eternal cause of pain is not clear; it wears a mask. But because God is good, we have hope of a ‘good’ eternal cause to our temporal conflicts. -Zach Kincaid

One of the main ways we move from abstract knowledge about God to a personal encounter with him as a living reality is through the furnace of affliction. -Tim Keller

SUFFERING REMINDS ME PAIN IS ROOTED IN HOPE, NOT DESPAIR.

Romans 8:20-22

SUFFERING REMINDS ME PAIN IS BIRTHING DELIVERANCE, NOT DEATH.

Romans 8:23-24

(NASB 2020)
