Yet, he has taught me a lot of precious lessons that what I have gained from them have more value than the sufferings I had gone through. Christians suffer for the glory of God. But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face. God has a divine plan for Paul and he has to suffer in the name of the Lord. This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.
Christians suffer for their faith.
And a group of martyrs. God permits some people to suffer to glorify him. Others do not suffer because god knows they could not take it. God uses the suffering of his children to silence the enemy. The greatest testimonies, prayers, smiles and encouragement will come from the mouths of suffering Christians.
