1 Peter 2:18-25   After listening to the lamenting of a young friend, I was reminded of 1 Peter 2:18-25.  He was experiencing a sense of worthlessnes and felt that he was suffering for no just reason.  It was important to me to let him know that his suffering has not gone unnoticed.  The scripture says that anyone can suffer for something he did wrong, but it is commendable before God if you suffer for an unjust cause.  (Look at the suffering Jesus went through for nothing He did wrong, but for what you and I did wrong).  When it comes to a point where nothing makes sense, and nothing seems to be fair, rely on the Lord.  Don't retaliate, but leave the judging to Him that is just.   So, whether you are a child being treated unfairly, or you are an adult whose boss seems to be acting unreasonable, or perhaps you're a prisoner for Christ, remember to worship Him through it all.  Remember that your suffering is commendable before God.
