Suffering Does Not Make You a Super Christian

Suffering is inevitable in this life. We have been told that for a long time. Suffering comes in various forms and at unexpected times. It can happen to anyone. 

A Christian we are expected to suffer whether it is physical, spiritual, or even in relationships. Suffering does cause us to grow as a Christian. One thing it does not do is make you a Super Christian.

You do not become one who is invulnerable to suffering or never to sin again in this life. You do not get some revelation that no one else does. Your suffering did not come because God knew you could handle it or because you are a special kind of person to take it.

Suffering makes you depend on the Father. It conforms you in the image of Christ. Suffering makes you lean on the body of Christ more than ever. Suffering brings to you to prayer and worship. It brings you back to the Word of God. 

The one thing suffering does not do is not transform you into some super saint because we will all suffer in this life till the day we depart from this life to the next or when the Lord returns.
