We will be discussing Elisabeth Elliot’s book “Suffering is Never for Nothing.” Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy.
Why doesn’t God do something about suffering? He has, He did, He is, and He will.
Sufferingandloveareinexplicablylinked,asGod’slove for His people is evidenced in His sending Jesus to carry our sins, griefs, and sufferings on the cross. He has walked the ultimate path of suffering, and He has won victory on our behalf. This truth led Elisabeth to say, “Whatever is in the cup that God is offering to me, whether it be pain and sorrow and suffering and grief along with the many more joys, I’m willing to take it because I trust Him.” Because suffering is never for nothing.
