Pearls of Wisdom

Now is your chance to suffer and die for Me. It will soon be too late. Your chance to suffer for Me won’t last forever. Today won’t always be called today. Soon there will be no more todays and no more tears. Death is the highest form of Love. I died for you before it was too late and the chance was gone. Only while on earth can these things take place. Suffering is a privilege. Philippians 1:29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him, 30 having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have. 2 Corinthians 1:5 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.… 2 Timothy 2:12 11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us; 13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.… 1 Peter 4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
