If you have endured any suffering in your life, what has it taught you?

Answer 1

It has taught me patience in the face of adversity, It has taught me to trust in God, Who said that after every difficulty, there is always a relief and finally it has taught me to appreciate myself, my life and my zeal for it.

Answer 2

There is a verse in the bible that says suffering produces perseverance, character and hope. The hardest things I've ever gone through in life....and there have been a lot of them...have been the things I have learned the most from. If someone said to me, I'll trade you all that you know from your experiences....and you'll have no memory of any hurts, I'd say, no way. What I've gained is worth everything. Also, I learned from hard experience that what you sow, you reap. Interesting how many years I did not put together my actions and the consequences of those actions!

Plus which....God works all things for good. Even those things that I would say "now how on earth will this be worked for good"? But....He does!

Answer 4

I have suffered much in my life, particularly through the death of my youngest child at the age of 12. However, I have learned to get better instead of bitter. God has been my refuge and strength and a very present help in times of trouble. I have leaned hard on Him over the years, and He has never once let me down. He is faithful God, and with the comfort He has given me, I am therefore able to go and comfort others with that same kind of comfort.
