Why This Suffering?
Pain is not evenly distributed. Some people seem to walk through life with lighter crosses, while others carry burdens that could break the back of giants. It is one of the oldest mysteries of life and faith.
Why does God allow some to suffer more? Why does pain seem unfair? Yet, if we look closer, there is a strange equity in suffering, an equity that does not always look fair, but is deeply just.
Pain is not punishment. If it were, then the cruellest of people would live in chains of sorrow. But history shows us something different. Some of the most broken-hearted people have been the kindest souls.
Some of the greatest leaders and visionaries were born in the fires of adversity. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years behind bars before stepping into destiny. Job lost everything, yet became the reference point for patience and faith. Pain does not always measure guilt, it measures capacity.
What we often forget is that pain is not an equal teacher. It gives lessons tailored to each soul. What breaks one person may awaken strength in another.
What seems unbearable today could become tomorrow’s testimony. Pain distributes weight like a coach at the gym, no one is given the same load, but each is given according to what they can eventually carry, grow through, and transform into purpose.
This is why some suffer more, not because they are cursed, but because their shoulders, though trembling, are being built for heavier crowns.
Equity in pain is not about fairness in measure, but fairness in meaning. God does not delight in human tears; He collects them. But he also knows that suffering can be a furnace where compassion, wisdom, and resilience are forged.
Someone who has known deep loss becomes a healer to others who are grieving. Someone who has fought depression can hold another’s hand in the dark. Someone who has survived betrayal can guide another to forgive. Pain shared is not pain wasted. In a strange way, the more we suffer, the more capacity we have to carry the suffering of others.
Yet, it is not easy to see this while we are in the middle of it. Pain is blinding, it can make you feel abandoned, overlooked or forgotten. But remember: gold is not refined in comfort.
Diamonds are not made in open fields but under pressure. Every story of deep transformation has a chapter soaked in tears. This is not to romanticize pain, but to recognize its mysterious equity, it gives more to some because through them, many will rise.
Perhaps your pain has not been about you alone. Maybe it has been about what you will birth for others. Maybe your scars are future roadmaps. Maybe your story will be the one someone else clings to when they are falling apart. And if this is true, then pain is not the end—it is a seed. It may not be fair, but it may be just.
So, if you find yourself in the midst of intense pain now, remember equity in pain means your tears have weight, and your endurance has meaning.
You are not forgotten. You are not weaker. You may actually be stronger than you realise. God allows some to suffer more because through their stories, He intends to heal multitudes.
When you look back, what has pain taught you that comfort never could? Share your response anonymously through this link https://gdpd.xyz/dailygrace
