Character Building Vs Suffering!

Whats your take?
Character is built in suffering, right? Shouldn't we then stop suffering to make character shaping progress? Well these statements on suffering are conceptual in one way or the other but I can't justify this profound concept concretely at the moment...

My personal opinion!
As I think through Character building and suffering, am reminded of the teaching on God's grace and Sin by the Apostle Paul that raised a controversial issue that good enough Paul addressed well in Romans 6... Whereas Romans 5:20 mentions that where sin increased, grace increased all the more, Romans 6:1 - 2 commends us not to continue in sin though grace will abound should we continue in our sinful ways! In light to suffering and character building, how about to end the suffering and maybe seek other means of character building!

Am indebted to Compassion International who have reached out to 1 million children in 24 countries around the world ending the suffering these little ones encounter in their lives. I have interacted with some of these children and well hope shines on their faces now that which had so long vanished.

Compassion International has approached child development with unique programs and what cuts across all these programs is the fact that you and me [sponsors] are linked directly to the children. Get linked to a child that you could support by clicking here...

Helen Keller says that "the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it!"
