Suffering

by Susan Q Tomas

There is no spiritual growth without suffering.
However, there is suffering without spiritual growth.
Ask only for the suffering to stop,
Or also ask why you are suffering,
And grow.

Author's Note: Inspired while reading The Wound of Knowledge by Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
