Positively Good Productions

We, like countless others, may have started to 

question how can we live a meaningful and 

significant life. The truth is that we live 

meaningful lives simply because we were 

created in the image of God , and 

God is the Source of our meaning.

We are living in the same world as Jesus... one 

brimming with simple pleasure, unexpectedness, 

hardship, and hope. 

Life can be amazing, pleasurable, and fair at 

times. On the contrary, life can be disheartening, 

biased, and highly complicated. We may pray 

with no sense that God is hearing us. Divine 

silence is a part of this life in many ways. 

When we have been treated unfairly, 

mischaracterized, deceived, violated, or betrayed, 

it can be incredibly hurtful. We yearn for divine

 justice, either inwardly or outwardly. It's difficult, 

if not unsettling, to hear nothing whatsoever in

 response.

God has a plan for each of us. He made the earth 

and positioned us here to have trust and find 

comfort. Our difficulties help us to grow and 

begin preparing us to live with Him again.

God is fully aware and devoted to carrying out the

purposes for the pain He has allowed.

Suffering and godliness are inherently connected.

We suffer at the hands of the world at times because 

we are carrying out God's Will. 

The world loathes truth and will 

go to any length to eliminate it. 

John 16:1-4

According to Second Timothy 3:12, "truly, all 

who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus 

will be persecuted." Both believing and sharing 

Jesus' suffering, according to Paul, are required 

components of righteous living.

Suffering and trials are an inescapable part of the

Believer's life. Suffering for Christ is a privilege,

according to Paul. Whatever suffering a Believer 

endures, 

Christ is worthy of it.

God allows people to suffer, but 

not all suffering is caused by sin.

 Suffering, according to Jesus, can

 be for the glory of God.

John 9:1-7

It can be difficult to see how God is working

 in our misfortune. Instead of explaining why 

we suffer, the Bible teaches us how to cope 

with it.

Pain and storms are inevitable in life. We

 can still go hungry, get sick, mourn, and die

 in this life. 

Philippians 2:25-28; Romans 8:18-24

Whether it is emotional or physical pain, we 

will all go through valleys of suffering and pain

 at some point in our lives.

Suffering can build our faith so we can serve 

God better. So, after we have suffered a little 

while, God will restore, support, and strengthen 

us. God will place us on a firm foundation.

1 Peter 5:10

Through suffering, God shapes and molds us 

into people who honor His Name and bless 

others.

There are times when both the righteous

 and the wicked suffer. 

Job 1–2

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers 

to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, 

but shouts in our pains. It is His megaphone to rouse 

a deaf world.”

― C.S. Lewis

In our suffering, we are most aware of God's nature. 

When our self-sufficiency is stripped away, we 

realize how frail we really are. As God says to 

Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9, 

"My power is made perfect in

 weakness."

God allows us to taste His power most intimately 

through our suffering.
