What do you think of this quote?

If God is causing you pain it is because He is not happy with what you are doing. So He causes pain/ stumbling blocks to get your attention. But it is usually a healing process. If God chastises you, consider your self fortunate. God chastises those whom He loves.

The gospel is taken up our cross and following Jesus to Calvary

yes and no

it is we who have decided we needed pain

we broke away from God

it was He who wanted to rebuild the relationship

it cost Christ His life for three days

after His resurrection and ascention

His gift is given to all who suffer with the knowledge that as we weep our Savior weeps too

I think it is a valid concept. It is not a reason to have faith, but it is a benefit you get from it.

I don't personally have this resource in my life, but I can see how it would be comforting.

I uncover Steven Wright charges humorous. Here are a couple of of them I observed on-line. “Last 12 months I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He used to be making use of a dotted line. He stuck each and every different fish.” “All individuals who suppose in psychokinesis lift my hand.” “OK, so what is the velocity of darkish?” “How do you inform whilst you are out of invisible ink?” “Support micro organism - they are the one tradition a few persons have.” “My condo used to be robbed and the whole lot used to be changed with distinct replicas...I advised my roommate and he mentioned 'Do I understand you?'” “Yesterday I advised a chook to go the avenue. It mentioned, "What for?"” “I Xeroxed my watch. Now I have time to spare.” “I placed instantaneous espresso in a microwave oven and practically went again in time.” “I wrote a track, however I cannot learn song so I have no idea what it it. Every as soon as in a at the same time I'll be being attentive to the radio and I say, ‘I feel I could have written that’.” “I established a skylight in my condo...The persons who are living above me are livid!” “My condo is at the median strip of a freeway. You do not fairly detect, besides I ought to depart the driveway doing 60 MPH.” “I purchased a self finding out list to be taught Spanish. I became it on and went to sleep; the list obtained caught. The subsequent day I might handiest stutter in Spanish.” “I spilled spot remover on my puppy. He's long gone now.”

I like it.we all suffer at one time or another,and it's comforting to know that we have Christ to ease our pain.

Good quote! God does chastise His children first.

jesus said: offenses will come but woe unto those from whom they come.

Utterly empty and meaningless.

Amen! Without Him, how Lost would I be!
