The Suffering Sermon (Part 1 of 8) 

Patient Endurance 

Rejoice in your sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance... 

American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and civil rights leader, Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. once said quote; 

"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."

In Regards to Dealing with Other People 

I have finally realized and accepted that other people are simply going to be exactly the way they are; independent of my opinion about them.  

And the world is simply going to be exactly the way it is, regardless of my best efforts and aspirations to change it... So I have finally let go and now I just let God do His thing. I stopped trying so hard, and just trust Him more.

Know the Will of the Father and Fall back in the Knowing 

That is why I've learned to fall back and just trust God, always trying my best to imitate Jesus in all that I do. 

More often than not, suppressing my natural human notion to act based on my feelings, which are based on my own understanding. In exchange for a more godly way of behaving.
