Two Kinds of Sufferings

Sometimes we have suffering because of bad choices; such as spending all your money on pleasure before paying the bills. Then there is a suffering because we serve God, and someone may not like it.

“If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.”                               I Peter 4:14-16  NKJV
