Pain - The Gift Nobody Wants
Pain is a gift nobody wants. But it's a gift, only the same.
We don’t enquire for it or savour it, but nosotros all sense it inwards i shape or another.
My friend Peggie says, "Pain ever brings change."
She's right. We tin allow it disable us alongside bitterness, anger, in addition to depression. Or nosotros tin allow it equip us alongside wisdom, sensitivity, humility, in addition to grace.
When I’m suffering, I desire to remind God of Bible passages where He rescues His people. I desire to forget well-nigh the to a greater extent than prevalent passages where He loves His followers plenty to allow them endure for their expert in addition to the expert of others (e.g. Joseph in addition to Paul).
We dependent our children, brand them larn shots, fifty-fifty give them over to doctors for surgery...because nosotros dearest them. They could (and sometimes do) bill us of letting them needlessly suffer. But they don’t understand.
As God’s children, nosotros oft misunderstand too. He doesn’t hope to forbid hurting (Hebrews 12:1-11). He promises to purpose it for our expert (Romans 8:28).
Help us, Lord, to come across our hurting the correct way.
