For a Christian the world is like a thick forest and you have to watch carefully where you step. You must be ready to lose face, to give up the easygoing, socially acceptable way of being a Christian. Whether you like it or not, suffering is a part of everyone's life, yours as well. Sufferings, great and small, come our way every day. Then you are not a Christian.
Christians love the cross.
They love suffering because, notwithstanding the hurt, they know that suffering has value. God had countless ways at his disposal with which to save humankind. When he chose to use suffering, he did it for a reason. Remember, however, that after having carried the cross and having been nailed to it, Jesus rose. Resurrection is also your destiny if you do not despise but accept with love the suffering brought on by your faithfulness to a Christian way of life, and every other suffering that each day brings with it.
