Hebrews 5:8 - "Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered."
Jesus Christ being the Son of God had to learn obedience through His sufferings so we are not an exception.
There's a philosophical saying - 'No pain, No gain' which means that without experiencing pain we may never grow and become what we are supposed (called) to be. Then why pain/suffering? Pain (or suffering) makes us humble, obedient to God and also dependant on God to set us free and in this process God prepares us (trains us/equips us) for the calling that He has over our lives and this is the time where our relationship with God grows stronger (intimate).
The suffering may not be always physical, it could be emotional, mental - a place where everything looks freezed and nothing seems to be working (or moving), a state of lack, emptiness. We could also call it as spiritual wilderness - a state where we await God to answer us/deliver us and this is also the place where God prunes us (sanctifies us) so that He can relaunch us into this world as His powerful ambassador.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Have A Blessed Day!
God Bless
Every Day With Jesus
