What's the lesson

 


We don't like pain. I mean who likes pain for the sake of pain?

But pain that teaches lesson or gives strength? I am all for it. 

Not all pain are created equal. Some pain are natural consequences of our own decisions and we have no one to blame but ourselves. But even then there's still a lesson- be wiser next time. 

As a lifter, pain is associated with growth and strength. If you want to become strong, you need to lift even if it means discomfort. 

The same thing is true spiritually. If we want to grow spiritually or if we want to have spiritual strength, we need to undergo pain. Adversities are designed to help us become stronger. 

When we are faced with lessons, we ask ourselves, what's the lesson? How will this make me stronger? How will this make me grow?

It is easier to persevere if we know there's a purpose to suffering. It is hard to develop perseverance and endurance if we think we're suffering for nothing.

What this means is instead of having a victim mentality (what did I do wrong to merit this?), we develop a disciple's mentality: "What lesson do I need to learn to be more like You?" Adversities don't need to become internal stresses.

It is all on our attitudes.

Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina. 

(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.

Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan. 

Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
