A Suffering Servant

Suffering: We read in The Bible that trials refine us, they teach us perseverance. Many of our trials come from others that sin against us, in doing so, they also sin against God. We are blessed when we suffer in the likeness of Christ Jesus, for he was the ultimate suffering servant. When others criticize us, we serve a great purpose. Its a vent of their frustration of our imperfections, or perhaps our sin; it's also a chance for us to suffer, although it's painful at times, we may see that throughout our lives, its in those moments of pain, that we become pliable. We are open to what changes need to take place for us to grow, while serving others in a way that allows them to not look at their defects, which can be exactly what they need, to cope with life at Gods perfect time. Serving is a deep spiritual concept, as Christ revealed to us, as he willingly went to The Cross for wretches like us.
