Well said.bookiegalke wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 11:57 my perception of suffering from s biblical context has nothing to do with purification but rather as a matter of perfecting faith. in the end it's all about God receiving the glory as opposed to us presenting ourselves as objects of pity
Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.

It gives you the ability to go above and beyond your physical capabilities. It helps you have a stronger self control over your physcial, mental, and spiritual capabilities.
