Picture your perfect life, what does it look like? Maybe a nice house, a job that you love, healthy and happy kids, an active church community, or being surrounded by your loved ones. However, I’d be willing to bet your perfect life doesn’t include any Christian pain and suffering. If pain and suffering didn’t make it on the list, you’re not alone.
The bible tells us that Christians should expect a life of pain and suffering (1 Peter 4:12), but even as Christians, we are often surprised when this comes along.
