I was feeling a bit bored…..and the only one I can call is who’s not working….but I decided to talk to God instead.

I just got this insight from 1 Peter 4:1 “Therefore since Christ suffered in His body and yourself also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin.” And what I was thinking was that we always complain that life is so unfair…… because of the different sufferings in this world, But isn’t the most “unfair” suffering endured by man on Earth by Jesus Christ. He was crucified & humiliated for not his sons but our sins. He suffered because of us – Which if we were in his shoes would definitely think thoughts of unfairness & so forth. So because of this, didn’t suffer unjustly, we would not be saved. Clearly, God has a plan and purpose for suffers.

There’s a section in Chapter 4 entitled suffering for being a Christian….For me….What am I suffering for? I don’t feel like I’m persecuted….how do I know if what I’m suffering is the result of Satan? Do I involve God in too much of what happen to me? What if God didn’t really have anything to do with me getting cancer? This is confusing.
