The purpose of your pain may not come immediately. In fact, it may take years. But as God’s Word says, “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God” and we have to stand on this truth. I’m not going to lie and act like it’s easy. It’s not. It’s probably going to be one of the hardest things you encounter in life, but it can also be one fo the most renewing, strengthening and encouraging at the same time.
He Can Redeem
Who can better help walk with someone who has an addiction than someone who once had an addiction and lost everything? Who can better help someone who is going through the burden of bankruptcy than someone who has gone through the same experience? Who can better comfort and help someone who is in an abusive relationship than someone who has once been in one themselves? Who can better help walk with someone who is going through a divorce than someone who has been through one? And who can better walk next to someone who is currently mourning the loss of a loved one than someone who has been through a similar experience? God can take our pain, our brokenness, our frustrations, our failures, and use them as the testimonies in which we help others.
God has a purpose for our pain even if we have yet to realize it. He can redeem all things because he is the one who created all things. There is vibrant hope and purpose in the name of Jesus.
