Suffering
God doesn’t expect us to rejoice because we are suffering. We are called to rejoice in spite of those things. We rejoice because Jesus overcame all of the ugliness in the world when He died and rose on the third day. We rejoice that through Jesus’ sufferings, his death, and resurrection, we too can overcome
