Suffering

I heard a guy with Cerebral Palsy gave a talk the other day on what it is like being part of a church and having Cerebral Palsy. Many of the things he said really hit me. But one in particular...

He commented that often in churches we don't allow people to suffer. When we see suffering that can't be resolved we try and bury it. We don't give expression to it, because we don't know how to deal with it. He pointed out that this doesn't make much sense considering that the Bible is very clear that suffering is going to be part of every Christian's life.

Just thought that was very thought provoking!
