suffering

"We Gladly suffer because we know that suffering helps us to endure. And endurance brings character, which gives us hope that will never disappoint us. All of this has happened because god gave us the Holy Spirit, Who fills our hearts with his love." Romans 5:3 - ?

I never thought of suffering as a blessing but a burden we all have to face at some stage in our life. But really now that I read this bible verse it hits me. Suffering isn't a burden but a part of life which helps us grow into the people we were made to be.

Suffering helps us to become stronger and face what many difficult events life has to throw at us. This helps us to build character while for filling our highest possible potential. Through times of suffering god gives us hope in which will never dismay us. We tend to feel this way because god gave us the gift of love portrayed through the Holy spirit.
