A HARD TRUTH:
(Difficult, but one we need to be reminded of. . .)

Elisabeth Elliot and her husband were missionaries. She does not easily talk about suffering. Her statement below was one borne of suffering and being willing to carry the cross for Christ. Her husband was killed by a tribe that she later stayed with and brought to Christ. She lived through trails and hardships and always trusted and served her loving Heavenly Father. The following is a quote from her:

"[There are many great] heroes of faith (Moses, David, Esther, The Prophets, The Disciples and of course Christ Himself. . .) and we see great faith being tested. When Christ told His disciples He was going to die and be risen again [God's plan], Peter ". . .took Him aside and objected' saying, 'Heaven forbid, Lord! This must never happen to You!' The words Jesus next spoke are so powerful! We remember the first part, "get behind me Satan!" but we don't often speak of the second part, '. . .You are not thinking the way God thinks but the way humans think.' To Peter, any suffering was bad. He didn't want his Messiah 'suffering.' He couldn't understand the path Jesus was on because he couldn't understand God's mind. You're not going through the trials and pain because you've sinned or are not loved by God, the trials are from our LOVING Heavenly Father who does not shield us from suffering because He knows:

A tree that bears good fruit must also be trimmed.
A cornerstone that holds up the whole building but first be hammered and chiseled.
A heart that humbly loves even the lowest of people, must first be broken.
A Spirit that truly hears the voice of the God must go through the refining fire and be purified."

We are all (men and women) called to the battlefield of faith. He tells us point blank to put on our "armor" daily. Clearly, He's not hiding the fact that faith is a battle not a vacation. We will experience a place of rest, complete peace and joy, with no suffering. . .but that comes later, in heaven, after we've battled and endured the cross of suffering with Him. It is as true today as when Christ first said it thousands of years ago:'. . .if anyone desires to follow Me, they must deny themselves and take up a cross. . .(Matt. 16:24)' Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering...The love of God did not protect His own Son...He will not necessarily protect us – not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.
