Why does God allows you to suffer in your life

[music] so we have the life of the Christian and

the life of the world we have injustice and suffering in the personal life of each

person and we also have suffering and injustice in the

world in the multitudes of people let's first take how

we deal with suffering and sacrifice what does an orthodox christian do in

his personal life so we said before that in principle the life of

christ is the model of the life of the christian man the

christian must imitate the life of Christ and the life of Christ goes through

the cross so the Christian will also go through the cross if he wants to

go to the kingdom of God to go to the kingdom of God you go through the

cross from the cross you will go to the resurrection and the resurrection will put you in the kingdom

of God, so we have the Christian in his life, says

the gospel, says Christ, in this world you will have tribulation, says the

saint Isaac the hero, a very important one, says that the spirit of

God wants the spirit, that is, God wants Christians to have

sorrow and calamities in this life

. christ i am the way and since

he is the way his way is through the cross he goes to the resurrection and to the

kingdom of god so all of us will pass if we want to go to

his kingdom of God and if we want to be with God's people we will

all go through suffering through a cross and to each person God gives

his own cross or will give him an illness or will give him a great

mental or physical sorrow or will give him a difficult one a difficult husband or he will

give him his children to his children a difficulty or in his work a difficulty

with a difficulty after all he will give him a cross this cross now the

Christian must endure him pick him up so he doesn't throw him away

and you see that those who divorce I gave an example now what is happening in the lives of

Christians today when many many couples divorce because they don't pick up

each other's cross you have a difficult wife you have a difficult husband

instead of picking up your cross the cross you separate him from him, while Christ wants you to be

patient with him, to bear the difficulty of his own, to help him

overcome his own difficulty if you do so, patience for him to sanctify and

let him sanctify and you sanctify and he doesn't want the separation

, that's why many people tell me that Christ allows divorce, he said it himself,

he allowed it, then in the old testament, Moses says because of our hard hearts,

that is, in essence, Christ he doesn't want it because he wants

man to bear with each other in marriage and now we have many

children many sick people who have various diseases and they endure

they have physical physical they don't have health they have a big big

cross in their life the sick the quadriplegic the various in the various

situations this suffering that God allows in the Christian's life

in essence what does this suffering purify him with patience and

prayer that the sick person must have on this cross that Christ has given him

is to help him to be cleansed of his passions and to

prepare him for the next life so if he accepts it as a Eucharist, i.e. without

touching it and says, God has allowed this for me to be blessed and takes it

like a blessing and lifts it up with thanksgiving, this is the best

position for and it passes painlessly, it suffers but it passes as

painlessly as possible this cross so then and now you see that because

we must have a cross many ascetics who do not

have a cross God has not given them a cross they invent a cross another goes to a

pillar another goes to a cave another goes to the desert they invent a difficult life

another is given with ropes another with chains why do they do this they invent

a cross to have sorrow out of love for Christ they do it so the one who

loves Christ does not throw away his cross and even if he hasn't invented

it is awesome so why the through suffering and sacrifice for the

love of god and the love of christ who was crucified without fault and

took upon himself the sins of the whole world his human nature bore the

sins of the whole world thus and endured he came down to the earth ephah to the end

humiliation went all the way to hell to save the living and the departed

therefore and for this thing and the love of Christ who did all this for the

world for man let each one of us take up

his cross with patience and not grumble so this is the meaning of suffering,

that is to say, it is a rescue work which brings us leads us

leads us ultimately to the peace of Christ and the kingdom of God when

someone does it when he accepts this cross that he has for the love of god

and the love of christ this slowly brings health to his soul because

he does it with thanksgiving so when he sees it positively that is out of love for christ and

is patient he will not be depressed

if he's carrying a heavy load i.e. he starts

complaining and says why should I suffer this and why this will

lead him to depression
