"When we cannot reconcile our Christian experience with our sufferings, our failures, and our troubles; when the deep gnawing within finds no satisfaction; when a divine restlessness grips our hearts, we need to consider once again the Cross. Our King desires to show us the riches of His glorious Kingdom and the honor of His excellent majesty. He desires to turn our water into wine."
(Quotation from Gateways to Growth and Maturity through the book of Esther - See Esther 1:4)
And the riches of His glorious Kingdom will always begin at the cross. It's at the cross we will find true peace in the midst of our suffering. At the cross our water, sweat, tears... will be turned into wine. At the cross the King's Kingdom will flourish, especially while suffering. And we shall overcome and experience victory with Him at the cross.
