Suffering and Sanctification
Any time God sanctifies one of His children, He is glorified, regardless of how He accomplishes it.
My Message to So-called “Christianity” Today
STOP trying to rationalize God with your human mind!
God is in no way bound to your definition of “fair”. God does whatever He wills, whenever He wills, however He wills, with whomever He wills…and that’s the end of it. PERIOD.
When will you ever STOP your complaining and ask God WHY He’s ordained this type of suffering in your life?
Jas 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
1Co 15:22
For as in Adam all die…so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

Perspective on Suffering
People often cry “undeserved suffering” when, from God’s perspective, there’s no such thing. God uses “all things” to work out “good” in us (Ro 8:28). Instead of trying to classify suffering as “deserved” or “undeserved”, consider it a critical, necessary tool God uses to sanctify His children.
Learn to See Past the Pain
God uses “localized” suffering to deliver us from “distant” maladies. Although the “localized” pain captures our attention, it’s the “distant” issue God is working on.
Jn 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Suffering from God’s Perspective
Until your heart is perfected (like Christ’s) you will always have areas in you, whether local or distant, that need adjustment. Those adjustments are painful and cause real suffering. If the distant issue didn’t need adjusting, the local wouldn’t ever be required; hence, all suffering is “deserved”.
