We are called to "rejoice" in our sufferings. In James 1:2-4 it says, "2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."<br /><br />Also Romans 5:3-5 says, "3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."<br /><br />It is clear then that we should expect suffering in this world and though it may help to channel the negativity into positive action, we should also keep in mind that these very sufferings are what are molding us into the people God wants us to be. <br /><br />Blessings friend....hoping the waiting for you guys will end soon, in the meantime I will pray for you to have joy in the trial.<br /><br />Love,<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062109148055436125noreply@blogger.com
