The only thing that usually leads us to growing spiritually is suffering. Suffering is whenever you are not in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, how long it takes for most of us to make a needed and a significant change in our lives \u2014 to find a much deeper presence of God inside of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people find a more personal relationship with God, their true gentle self, and their compassionate nature after long periods of suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sure hope I am one of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
