We were people among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. - Thessalonians 2: 7
Suffering is a form of experience that God want us to go through. From it, we can experience the grace of God. Troubles produce endurance. Endurance brings God's approval that creates hope. In return, we can strengthen our faith eventually.
Every mother cares for her child. Do we know how much love and time did our mother spent to look after us? Do we want to believe that we were all healthy throughout, chubby and well behaved? Do we not know that we have caused our mother to panic and stressed when we were ill? Do we not know that our bad behavior brings to our parents to suffer silently?
Today is the Fool's Day and it could be the right moment to ask ourselves if we have treated others like 'fools'. Our parents, elders, brothers, sisters, relatives, colleagues, friends, neighbours, and partners - did we cause them some kind of sufferings?
One measure of our likeness to Christ is our sensitivity to the suffering of others.
