One thing believers can count on is suffering: They're going in, in the midst of, or on their way out of suffering. Suffering is unavoidable because we live in a fallen world. If it was up to me, I would wipe suffering off the map and everyone would be on Cloud 9 in life. Because none of us are God, we don't have that power so the best thing for believers to do is hold on in the midst of raging storms. Storms don't last forever, even though we think so sometimes.
