*1 Thessalonians 5:11

Devo Fuel: {Called upon to endure}

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." (1 Thess 5:11)

It is an undeniable fact that usually those who have suffered most are best able to comfort others who are passing through suffering. They know what it is to suffer, and they understand more than others what a suffering person is experiencing ... physically, emotionally, and spiritually ... Our attitude toward suffering should not be, "Grit your teeth and bear it," hoping it will pass as quickly as possible. Rather, our goal should be to learn all we can from what we are called upon to endure, so that we in turn can "comfort each other and edify one another" (1 Thes 5:11)
