For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.Like most people, I don't like to think about suffering. However, I find myself turning to that word more and more frequently in recent months, as I look at the situation of my church. In my case the suffering has been emotional, rather than the physical implied here, but it still feels like a type of suffering.
The contract is that my suffering is at least partially self-inflicted, due to wrong choices I've made and continue to make. I can see the cycle and how it's spiraling, but I don't see a good way out. The only way, from everything I've read, to ease the suffering requires having at least one person I trust enough to open up to, and I don't feel like there's anyone who'd freely do that without feeling pressured.
