"Suffer" in the Bible: Romans 8:18-27
There's no denying that life on earth involves pain and suffering. The writer of this passage, however, asks us to look at it from a different perspective: whatever we suffer here on earth, it's nothing compared to the glory that God has in mind for us.

can you please post WHY we suffer?
There are many definitions of suffer. As in the term ’suffer the children to come on the me” means “allow.” not pain or misfortune. Now what if we substituted that word who is doing the allowing we are allowing the children to go to him and we are allowing much of the suffering in our lives.
It is our attempt, in these articles on suffering and the several that will follow in this series, to give you some measure of comfort in this tough quest. It is our prayer that you can use these essays on suffering in your teaching, personally and in your dealings with others. So when life gives a “bum rap” or a “harsh turn,” you can seek not merely the “why”, but rather the “how” we can grow and be improved, stronger, recovered, and thus more rapidly able to grow in Christ ourselves as well as make Him known to others. We can learn that what we have gone through has a reason and can be used for His glory and our betterment!
