Milton Stanley of Transforming Sermons has a nice one two punch series about how REAL repentance is more then saying you are sorry (post here - based on a post by Ole Anthony) and how suffering is a real and legitimate part of serving God (even if we want to ack like it is not) and such suffering is from the pastor on down. The second post is based on a past article (in .pdf format) from Scott Hafemann in the Summer 2000 Southern Baptist Journal of Theology

From the post and piece -

The ultimate testimony to God’s power and glory is the praise that arises in the midst of affliction. This praise arises because of our conviction that God is at work in and through our suffering for a future good in his presence that is so great that all present suffering seems merely “light and momentary”
