Things That Matter
Scripture: Psalm 118: 1-5, 12-14, 24
In times of suffering, God’s presence offers not escape but transformation—turning trials into fertile ground for spiritual growth and deeper joy. This reflection highlights how suffering, rather than being a sign of divine punishment, becomes a space where God’s faithfulness and grace shine most clearly. Personal testimonies and scriptural insights, especially from Psalms and the parable of the gardener, illustrate that God not only heals and delivers but also invites us to cultivate our faith through intentional discipline. Like a gardener tending soil, our efforts to grow spiritually allow us to experience God’s abundance more fully. Ultimately, suffering reveals a divine tapestry in the making—where what feels chaotic now is woven into a purposeful, beautiful design. By surrendering to Christ and actively engaging in the process, we don’t just endure hardship—we inherit joy, clarity, and a life overflowing with meaning.
