The Suffering Sermon (Part 8 of 8) 

What is Not Important 

Final thought to ponder: 

Have you ever asked yourself what's really important to you? 

A good way to find this out is by looking at what you're attached to versus what you enjoy doing. If you wonder what's the difference between your attachment to something verse your enjoyment of something, ask yourself these four simple questions: 

1) How would you react if suddenly a physical object that you really valued was suddenly gone? 

2) How would you feel if you lost everything you like and want but not what you need to survive? 

3) Would you still love and trust God? Would you still believe that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be? 

4) Despite you feeling that things aren't fair and you thinking that everything is horribly wrong at the moment, would you still love your neighbor? 

Consider unhealthy attachments to things in the physical world versus the healthy enjoyment of living life in peace and enjoying the blessings with the sufferings that God gives you. Life is good. God is good. And God has promised good to me. 

And I trust Father God's promise, that in the end, perfect judgment and justice will be served, the faithful's suffering will be redeemed and that is was all for His glory, forever. 

Amen.  The End.
