Suffering Is A Favor

Brethren, suffering is a favor
Which, in various ways, the Saviour
To His own elect has shown.
Often racked by pain and sighing,
Often felt the throes of dying,
When through sleepless nights they groan.
--Zion's Harp #245 vs. 8

Are our hearts and minds so full of God's Spirit that we can think of our suffering as a favor?
