Awesome Suffering

Suffering and sacrifice, when surrendered to God, become instruments of His glory. Rather than dwelling in self-pity, believers are called to offer their pain as worship.

As Romans 12:1 urges, “offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”

Trials, though difficult, serve a greater purpose when entrusted to Him. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him” (Romans 8:28, NIV). Suffering for the sake of suffering is a waste; awesome sacrifice is not wasted—it becomes testimony, transformation, and praise. All is for His glory, and in Him, no hardship you endure is in vain.
