hard situations that hurt us deeply

There is a middle aged man staying with us .  I believe he came because we needed help remodeling a home.  His skills are excellent and he is a man of integrity.  Says he is a Christian.  There is a deep seated anger in him from some terrible injustice that has been done to him.  It is apparent.  I have been talking with him a little about his pain having felt that pain myself and knowing the Holy Spirit was directing me,  we have had some good conversations.  Now this is what I am getting to.  He has been afflicted, I have been afflicted too, many people are afflicted.  Jesus was afflicted by the hand of God.  I was hard for me to come to that place to know that my afflicted was purposely done for a bigger plan.  A plan of Gods'.  This was a hard thing to accept,suffering, submitting my emotions to the thing that was not stopable.  This is something to grow into.  To me there is many facets to this.  I believe this comes with a little more understanding

Joh 10:27  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Joh 10:28  And I give eternal life to them, and they shall not perish to the age, never! And not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.
Joh 10:29  My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father's hand.
Joh 10:30  I and the Father are One!         
Luk 24:26  Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?

Heb 5:6  As He also says in another place, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek," Psa. 110:4
Heb 5:7  who in the days of His flesh was offering both petitions and entreaties to Him being able to save Him from death, with strong crying and tears, and being heard from His godly fear;
Heb 5:8  though being a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered
Heb 5:9  and having been perfected, He came to be the Author of eternal salvation to all the ones obeying Him,
Heb 5:10  having been called out by God as a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Heb 5:11  Concerning whom we have much discourse, and hard to interpret, or to speak, since you have come to be dull in the hearings.
Heb 5:12  For indeed because of the time you are due to be teachers, yet you need to have someone to teach you again the rudiments of the beginning of the Words of God, and you came to be having need of milk, and not of solid food;
Heb 5:13  for everyone partaking of milk is without experience in the Word of Righteousness, for he is an infant.
Heb 5:14  But solid food is for those full grown, having exercised the faculties through habit, for distinction of both good and bad.

1Pe 5:10  Now the God of all grace, the One calling you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, you having suffered a little, Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you.
1Pe 5:11  To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.

Good message. Part of swallowing solid food is knowing the true purposes for suffering. Christ Jesus, The Master, was obedient to this and the perfect example. If we aspire to truly be apart of his body, we understand pain and tribulation comes with the territory. May we all pray to grow in this aspect.

God Bless
