Rejoice in suffering?

I Thessalonians 1:6 ” You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.” A Christian’s life is both peaceful and is just the opposite.  Perfect peace is a promise from our God for our soul while terrible turmoil is promised in life for our body.  Ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden this dichotomy became real.  Not because of God for He is love and is perfect, but rather, because of our own sinful nature.  This two fold life makes for a long discussion, but for here:  expect both peace and expect turmoil.  Develop a strong and steadfast relationship with your Savior.  Study Scripture.
