The Holy Suffering of the Saint

“Let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good …” (1 Peter 4:19).

Choosing to suffer means that there must be something wrong with you, but choosing God’s will—even if it means you will suffer—is something very different. No normal, healthy saint ever chooses suffering; he simply chooses God’s will, just as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not. And no saint should ever dare to interfere with the lesson of suffering being taught in another saint’s life.
