Hebrews 5:8 -- On Suffering and Growth

"Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;"
Hebrews 5:8


I think this is a really hopeful verse.  Sometimes it is hard to learn by making mistakes and what we go through, but since Christ learned in a similar way, I think it means that we are on the right track... and also that bad things aren't happening to us because we're horrible, unworthy creatures.  ... I mean, we might be that on some level, but we are also glorious and filled with potential, and that is why God loves us and is taking the time to teach us his ways.  It's okay to take a breather, but then let's get back in there and do our best... because it matters, and because with God's help, we can do anything he asks of us.  Yes, even that incredibly hard thing that pops into our minds at this point, making us wonder. :)

Let's pray and work with God to solve the next challenge, and work towards everything good. :)
