The Sanctity of Suffering

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Suffering is necessary to our earthly experience because our response to the vicissitudes of life shapes our character. Facing challenges with faith tempers our souls, and the Lord's holy influence rewards us and solidifies the change. We cannot grow without experiencing and responding to suffering.
