My youngest son believes that suffering is how we commune with God. Indeed, there is a lot of scripture suggesting this to be so.
But is suffering the only lot in this life for the Christian? The only way to be close to God? I believe the answer is, no.
If I'm honest, it has been the difficult times that have delivered the most profound and enduring lessons.
But if suffering is all there is in this place, why prolong the experience? (this is a strawman argument for the sake of encouraging meaningful discussion on the subject)
