I’ve been in the angry stage this week. Why do I have to suffer if I’m serving God faithfully? This has been on my mind since Wednesday and I haven’t been able to shake it. I brought it to Joel yesterday and he contemplated it and said this morning that God doesn’t want us to suffer, he has plans to give us hope and a future. The suffering is because of the fallen world. He is right but I still didn’t want to accept that. So I began asking God about it. He finally revealed to me that I’m suffering because Satan sees my commitment to God and is doing everything in his power to stop me. If I was doing what Satan wanted I wouldn’t have to suffer because I’m already doing what he wants, denying my Father. Now my question is, “Do I want to be on Satan’s side or God’s?” That’s an easy answer. Thank you, God, for loving me enough to get me through this.
