Suffering For Others

In Colossians 1:24 Paul writes, "Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you..." I don't know about you, but for me suffering is not something that I can typically rejoice in. Maybe suffering for myself, but certainly not suffering for someone else. I need to grow in this.

Philippians 1:29-30 (ESV)
For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
