Daily Devotions

Does God teaches more from our suffering or more from the joys of life? In my own life I have learned alot from the many failures I have had. I recently got fired from a job that was literrally killing me. I had a bloody nose that would not go away and I had a headache from the time I got to work to when I left. God took that job away from me. That is how I explain it because of the shame I felt from getting fired. I got fired for my bad attitude that did not show Christ at all. I am ashamed for not letting the Holy Spirit into that situation because I was dealing with sin in my life and I did not want to reconcile with my boss. The Triune God allows his beleivers to suffer because not only did He suffer but we learn through the suffering what it means to actually follow Christ! Follow Christ today and if your not suffering ask yourself "Am i following Christ?"
