"PAIN HAS PURPOSE"

"PAIN HAS PURPOSE"
Scripture: Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Meditation: Pain purifies and keeps us humble and draws us closer to God. The deepest pains are not physical; they are emotional and spiritual. If we avoided pain we would never grow up spiritually. God is shaping us through pain, not to destroy us but to teach us discipline and strengthen us. God does not promise to remove our pain or relieve it but He does promise to transform it to work for our good. God will give us the grace we need to convert pain into strength and suffering into glory.
God has purpose behind your pain!!
"It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness". Madame Guyon

God is shaping us through pain, not to destroy us but to teach us discipline and strengthen us. Wise words being spoken. No wonder you took great interest in my blog post today, it mirrors your blog post sentiments. Good deal.

I never thought I would ever be the one to say this, but believe me when I do: tough times don't last forever. They only seem like they do. You will look back on it, and laugh @ it. That is how much of a factor it will be, once you come through.
