Why do we as humans struggle to accept suffering?

I truly believe that we know deep down how this world was meant to be. This earth was not created for suffering but our sin broke and cursed it. If the story ended there we would find no hope in suffering. By God’s overwhelming love he has broken the curse of sin and death on the cross. While we still live in the remains of a broken world we can look to a place free of suffering and free of brokenness, and that place is heaven. I once could not accept my suffering and pain because I believe I deserved better. I could not understand why a loving God could allow me to suffer with pain every day. But I was so wrong! God is so loving that he promises not only to walk with us through trials on earth but he promises us an eternity with him, free of pain to those who believe. Now I look at my pain differently, I see it as a beautiful reminder of the broken world God has freed me from.

Dear broken world, you are not my home.

Dear suffering, you will not remain.

Hi I have not posted in a bit and wanted to share what my relationship with God looks like In my every day life. I have something called the 5 minute rule which means even if my time with Jesus is 5 minutes it is better than none. But recently I have had time to sit down and just study the word of God. I used to struggle with keeping the passion in my heart to read his word. But I am not at a point where I sit back sometimes and just marvel at his words and even the world around me. I usually start with a prayer over the time and that God would reveal himself through his word. Then I read a chapter from selection either based on what I need or want to study more. Then I close with worship and prayer and reflection. On days I do not feel like opening my Bible I listen to a sermon or podcast. We are living in a time where scripture and worship songs are so conveniently accessible. I believe if I want to be truly used for the Lord I must equip myself along with wanting to be more like Jesus which requires studying who he is. 

If you haven’t picked up a Bible for a while or never I can confidently say it will change your life.
