Nobody wants to suffer. But look, humans suffer because that is what humans do. I am honored to be granted belief. I am grateful that my suffering has meaning.
Philippians 1:29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, Bible Gateway link: Philippians 1:29 (ESV)
I would simply say amen! Suffering is not fun, but the lessons learned are lifelong and profound!
