Have been meditating on suffering lately. What if restoration or redemption was actually delivered through suffering? Suffering can be more of a teacher than prosperity. In its reductive capability. It reduces everything down to a minimum, to the essence, that we don't have the answers, we don't have the distractions that can be delivered through prosperity.
"When suffering sandblasts us to the core, the true stuff of which we are made is revealed. Suffering lobs a hand-grenade into our self-centeredness, blasting our soul bare—but then, we can be better bonded to the Savior."
