Beloved, do not be
surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing,
as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you
share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation
of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

For a Christian two things are true about suffering. First, it is
the norm and you should not be surprised when it happens. Second, suffering is
reason for rejoicing – the cause of Christ is being served. This suffering joy
will enhance your joy at Jesus’ Second Coming. When was the last time you
suffered for your Lord? Remember and rejoice.
