Perseverance from suffering
28th November, 2006 (Tuesday)
For the recent half month, Pastor Li start to take vegetarian food only, even excluding fish. River water fish has been his favourite but he has ceased taking it for a long while. I feel a bit uneasy after reading the news about poisoned fish today. His main diet includes brown rice, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, sweet potato, tomato, potato, nuts and etc. Going back to the nature is a big change for him, which he has to put up with. Everyday, he is eating similar food in a disciplinary manner. He prays for not vomiting before taking in the food. He chews twenty to thirty times for each mouthful of food. We also need to clean the food from pesticide beforehand. He is suffering from swollen abdomen, swollen feet and vomiting, which are similar to the symptoms of pregnancy. Now, he is tasting the suffering of pregnant woman. God moulds our character with suffering as the Bible says,
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (Romans 5:3-5)
