2 Timothy 2:3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
I wonder how many times you have been told you have to endure things just because you are a Christian; well it is not just because you are a Christian!
Why do soldiers go through so much grief in their training? They do that to best prepare them for the job ahead!
Christ may allow various things into our lives which we really do not like; but they may well be what we need in order to prepare us for what lies ahead of us.
