Great writing, I believe in that God, loving and giver of all our days. As you say, if Jesus suffered so much, why should we think that we will be exempt from pain? I take every situation in my life that way, knowing that everything has a reason and that things will change for the better. Blessings.
Yes, we do not want to suffer, but suffering is part of the human condition, and some phase of life comes to us all.
