So true! I discovered this through Grace just last month. My oldest son died, and if I think of MY loss, emotions erupt. But my suffering turns to joy when I focus on Jesus, and through prayer I receive His peace, and then I trust Him even more. It's beautiful what God can do with our sufferings when we invite Him in. “… if we turn to Him promptly and focus our attention on Him, and not on our thoughts or feelings, His calming Love will flow into our hearts, and He will help us respond….” So true!
