W@W WRAP - Week 43: Growing through our suffering

Jesus learned trusting-obedience by what He suffered, just as we do. That means suffering leads to growth. Growth doesn't come from staying in a comfort zone. Growth comes when we learn to persevere during our times of hardship, suffering, sacrifice, or being thrown into deep waters. Perseverance implies quietly waiting on and trusting in the Lord. This helps us to mature in our faith - and ultimately leads us to trusting-loving-obedience and alignment to our Father God’s will.

 

Hebrews 5:8 (AMP): "Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father], He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered."
