If you're like me (Susan), you would much rather avoid pain than experience it. But you don't have to spend much time on this planet to realize that pain can't be avoided. Christ, however, teaches us that our top priority shouldn't be to avoid pain. Rather, as we journey through painful circumstances with a renewed perspective, we find the strength that comes from Christ's presence within us, and our hearts and minds are transformed more and more into the character of Christ.
