Suffering

 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.

2 Corinthians 1:7 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/2co.1.7.NLT

Have no doubt you will face many troubles

 But be assured I am the God of all comfort

And I shall pour out comfort on my people

I have seen the way you suffer for my name

And I shall respond with mercy and grace

Remember how I have been faithful 

Have no doubt those who suffer for my sake shall be comforted 

Don't confuse suffering because of stupidity, for suffering for my sake

Never-the-less I shall comfort all my people

Because I am loving and merciful 

Become smart and obey my voice for I shall certainly speak to you

Be amazed for I am about to change the world 

Men of violence shall become peacemakers 

Wicked men shall become righteous 

I shall reveal myself to you 

Be sure of why you are suffering!

Are you suffering because you live in a broken world? 

Are you suffering because of stupidity?

Are you suffering for the sake of Christ?

Regardless, I shall pour out mercy and grace upon you, for I am a loving God. 

Amen
