Suffering Quote by Ann Swindell
““Although Jesus deeply affirms our suffering, and although he catches every tear and profoundly understands every trial we have walked through, the suffering isn't meant to be the focus of our lives. Jesus must be the focus. Anytime we take Jesus' affirmation of our suffering as carte blanche to worship our pain rather than him, we've missed the point.””
