In today’s world, most people try to avoid any aspect of suffering or pain. We want to live a “pain free” life. That’s very interesting, because for any real growth or maturity, we need to get out of our comfort level and endure what we perceive to be suffering and disappointments. We need to fail over and over until we learn how to do things correctly. It’s in the failures and disappointments that we develop discernment and understanding. The Apostle James said that he counted those who endure as blessed. In other words, it’s only when you have to endure something and overcome it, that you enter into the blessed state of an overcomer. James also said that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. He has a way of working things out for our good, even those things that we deem as failure, disappointment, rejection, unfairness, persecution, problems, overwhelming odds, etc. God is with you in each of these issues, and He will both teach you something while you are there, and He will show you the way out. David once said: “even though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me” (Psalms 23).

James 5:11 “Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful”

En el mundo de hoy, la mayoría de las personas tratan de evitar cualquier aspecto de sufrimiento o dolor. Queremos vivir una vida “sin dolor”. Eso es muy interesante, porque para obtener cualquier crecimiento o madurez real, necesitamos salir de nuestro nivel de comodidad y soportar lo que percibimos como sufrimiento y decepciones. Tenemos que fallar una y otra vez hasta que aprendamos a hacer las cosas correctamente. Es en los fracasos y decepciones que desarrollamos el discernimiento y la comprensión. El Apóstol Santiago dijo que los que sufren son los bienaventurados. En otras palabras, solo cuando tienes que soportar algo y superarlo, entras en el estado bendito de un vencedor. Santiago también dijo que el Señor es muy compasivo y misericordioso. Él tiene una manera de resolver las cosas para nuestro bien, incluso aquellas que consideramos fracaso, decepción, rechazo, injusticia, persecución, problemas, probabilidades abrumadoras, etc. Dios está con usted en cada uno de estos retos. En medio de estos retos, recibirás discernimiento en el proceso, y Dios te mostrara como salir del problema y superarlo. David dijo una vez: “aunque pase por el valle de la sombra de la muerte, no temeré mal alguno, porque tú estás conmigo” (Salmos 23).

Santiago 5:11^“Nosotros tenemos por bienaventurados a los que sufren: Habéis oído de la paciencia de Job, y habéis visto el fin que le dio el Señor, porque el Señor es muy misericordioso y compasivo”
