Last week I listened to a series about Enduring Suffering on Revive our Hearts. It struck me that suffering isn't just about being beaten for being a Christian, it also has reference to heartache - emotional suffering.
This is one of the quotes that really stood out to me...
"You will suffer. The question is not: Will you suffer? The question is: What will you do with it?
And what you must do with it is endure, which is to hold up under it, to stay firm in your love for Christ and in your commitment to your mission under suffering and hardship."
(Nancy Leigh DeMoss)

Think about that...
"To stay firm in your firm in your love for Christ and in your commitment to your mission."
Our mission is to make much of Christ, to glorify Him in every aspect of our lives - that includes our deepest pains and in our deepest of heartaches...
Are you glorifying Christ in the way that you are dealing with your heartaches?
You can listen to the whole series here, it is very good!
