Hebrews 11

• What do you learn from the people talked about in this chapter that you can use in your own life?

Our faith can be a major turning point in our suffering. The belief we have, the way we see Jesus, the understanding of how much God loves us—all these things contribute to the way we navigate the difficult times life throws at us. It does not make it feel less painful; it doesn’t necessarily make things easier, but it does shine a light at the end of the tunnel and may keep us from despair. It also allows us to be a light to others even when we’re surrounded by darkness. Our faith in God isn’t a band-aid for suffering; it’s companionship, care, and love through suffering.
