In times like now when you think the time is almost the end, we take suffering so literally and linearly, we can only see but suffering.  But when you see behind the suffering, you will see the happiness, joy, pleasure and the ultimate blessing.  That is suffering is blessing.

So be joyful when you suffer, because it is a blessing from Heaven that means your prayer has started to come true.  When you suffer just know that your prayer is coming true and near, and that now your wish is finally coming true.  And truly and truly I tell you my friends that is a true blessing from God. so thank God for the suffering.
