Suffering

One of my colleagues just shared this quote with me this morning and I love it! 

"Suffering often indicates that God is setting us free from something so that we can follow and embrace Him more deeply.  Walking in His life will always mean you are going against the grain.  Don't expect your circumstances to conform easily on this journey.  They will resist it at every turn.  God wants to teach you how to walk with Him through these things so that you can know a joy and peace that transcends circumstances." 

WOW!!  Powerful, powerful!
