Quotes

The story/stories in the book of Job is easily relatable too. As we live our daily lives we have experienced suffering in many different ways. Both physically and emotionally. I personally can relate to this story with stories of my own pain, and suffering. It isn't anything special but in my opinion, i think this is what it makes it truly worth it. Everyday i suffer in many different ways. Some examples are waiting for lunch time, doing all the homework teachers have given me, and managing my time on the computer and playing video games. These things can be very torturous, but i think it is important to share even a bit of Jesus' pain and suffering little every day. This is how i can relate to the stories of suffering in the book of job
