In my opinion Max is saying that God can turn all our suffering into good, even though not everything that causes our suffering is good. So to answer your question, I’d choose the first part–that he’s saying even suffering can be a gift from God (ouch, even though I still cringe at it).

That C. S. Lewis is one of my favorites too. So very true. Pain refuses to be ignored.

God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

Did Max see suffering as a thing we can even see as Gods gift or did it seem like something we need to get through?

No, I haven’t heard of Mann’s book. Sounds very long. ha. I’ll have to look into it. Your morning prayer is an excellent one that I’m sure is answered in the affirmative every day. God goes everywhere we do, but I think he still loves for us to ask for his presence.

Yes, Christians do read ordinary literature, very much so. 🙂 You might be surprised at how little the One Book is actually read compared to how much it is talked about….

Compassion and humility. The foundation of the greatest people God makes.

This is just the kind do lessons our Pappa wants us to learn through suffering. When we have come to the end of ourselves and our own endeavors, we soon learn that the Presence of our Lord is what keeps us going through the worst of circumstances when our hearts are to bogged down even to cry. Yes, my friend, like everything else it is all about Him.
Blessings XX

As you are a reader, have you read “Jospeh and his brothers” by Thomas Mann? A new translation came out recently which is more readable. Fantastic novel. Mann is an absolute genius. OK it’s a huge book (four novels really).

Do Christians read ordinary literature? Sometimes I get the impression that they only read One Book and even that only for instrumental reasons.

I am definitely ordering this book, though!

“Don’t let the crisis paralyze you. Don’t let the sadness overwhelm you. Don’t let the fear intimidate you. To do nothing is the wrong thing. To do something is the right thing. And to believe is the highest thing. Just . . . keep calm and carry on.” It’s what I need!

Thank you, Lisa for sharing!
