Lessons From Suffering by Dick Innes

"Lessons From Suffering." Because we live in a broken world we all experience suffering at one time or another. It's a part of the human condition.

However, it's not so important what happens to us, but how we react to what happens to us. Suffering can make us bitter or it can make us better. While the enemy wants to use suffering to make us bitter and destroy us, God wants to use it to make us better—to help us grow in faith, love, patience, and a greater understanding of others when they, too, face trials and suffering. The messages on this tape will help the listener to learn from his/her trials to become a much healthier and better person. The important issue is to not waste your pain but to invest it wisely in your own growth and then to help others.
