As Christians, it can be all too easy to make temporary happiness our goal in life. After all, self-denial and sacrifice are unpopular ideas in our modern culture. We can doubt that the call to take up our cross and follow Jesus is actually for our good.
Julian Hardyman writes openly of how his own experience of suffering has shaped his ministry. Julian goes on to explain that pain and suffering are not only to be expected, but are the tools that God uses to equip us to serve others joyfully.
