(Didn't want to start a new thread but I couldn't find an existing related topic.)
Is suffering good for you?
Is this what "All things work togther for good" means for Christians.
What's been your experience? Has it been good for you emotionally, physically, as well as spiritually?
Anybody damaged spiritually by suffering?
And what kind of suffering is good for you?
I'd love some testimonies, rather than bible quotes. But if we are going to use the bible, how do we understand the book of Job? I find the story of Job more and more the main pattern for our own Christian walk with God.
This could be posted on another thread to explain why I am almost officially "post-Charismatic".
