BLESS THE LORD O MY SOUL AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS!!!
Dear family in Christ
After one month of leave during the month of May, the first group was led by Serenechechi(S6C) and Tenish(S4E). They shared about the place of suffering and perseverance during trials in the Christian life. The Word for the day was from 1 Peter 4:12-19
1 Peter 4:16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
Suffering according to St. Paul is an integral part of the Christian life. I think that a lot of lessons can be learnt by us only in the valley of suffering...that we learn to recognise the comfort of His rod and His staff only in the valley of the shadow of death mentioned in Psalm 23. To be able to recognise His presence and to learn to rely on Him and His grace only in trials is a very very valuable lesson to learn and I believe from personal experience the only thing that can sustain us.
May we be able to make ourselves worthy of the Name we bear through the way in which we face suffering...
We finished off with prayer and cheering.
Love and prayers

My grace is sufficient for you because my strength is made perfect in weakness.
