M.A. Gutierrez

“We have to suffer! It’s part of life. It’s the only way God can get our attention. By nature, we are foolish, so in spite of Him working all things for us good, we can never comprehend Him. We are blind, so no matter how much beauty we see in creation, our families, and what He has given us, we can never see Him. We are deaf, so regardless of how loud and for how long He shouts at us, we can never hear Him. But one thing we do feel is pain, because it hurts. If He applies enough pressure on us, He can get us to respond. And that’s what suffering is, it’s God’s utensil for getting our attention.”
― M.A. Gutierrez, The Mighty Men of King David
