Are you in a season of suffering? Hold onto hope; this time is not wasted. There is great impact and reward in your pain! As you reflect upon Jesus’ death on the cross in today’s post, you’ll see why the Father didn’t remove Him from His own suffering, and the impact, and reward because of it.

Many Christians have heard the reference of God’s kingdom being an “Upside Down Kingdom.” Things the Lord does can seem backwards or contradictory to how it should work in our minds. We can’t fathom how suffering is good for us or why God calls us to be humble when it hurts.
