Sweet Fellowship of Suffering
Suffering, under all circumstances, is not convenient for the body. Most of life's sufferings are human caused; and the guilt or regret for action or inaction may even add to the pain of suffering. Despite the pain, suffering enables man to reflect on the past; and ensembles good paths for the future, if managed properly. While many fall into suffering by accident, only few will choose to suffer. Unlike many, Moses reviewed his options properly, but chose to embrace suffering. It is one thing to know that suffering can come as a result of one's choice to follow the will of God; it is another thing to learn how to embrace the suffering. The sweetness of God's fellowship is found in the stillness of suffering. Rather than asking "why?", God's heralds should be looking for "what?" as the fellowship of suffering continues. Good attitude of fellowship to suffering is a demonstration of faith in God, the One who lead the way.
