Suffering shouldn't be glorified, I suppose, but we have it all through life whether we want it or not, so the idea that suffering can be put to good use for ourselves and others is very Christ-like.  He tells us to take up our daily crosses and follow Him, and what are those crosses but varying degrees of suffering? We should do our best not to cause suffering in others and to alleviate it when able, and I don't believe in looking for suffering, but we can't and never will be able to get rid of it completely.
