PURPOSE OUT OF THE PAIN

Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

– Revelation 2:10 NKJV 

When pain and suffering inevitably come, look out the window. See the hard times others are facing without dwelling on your own. You are an overcomer in Jesus’ name!

God doesn’t ask a question because He doesn’t know the answer. He asks for your benefit. So you’ll be forced to know and own the answer to your messed up thinking, especially where pain and suffering are concerned.

Consider these questions…Who told you God doesn’t want you to have pain? Who told you life is supposed to be comfortable? Who told you times are never supposed to be hard? Who told you Christians never get sick, fired, wrongly accused, or addicted?

I see this thinking pattern a lot in Americans. Thinking that God only wants them to feel good is a bunch of Oscar Mayer! Someone who makes a big deal out of their pain is clueless to the pain of others. Someone who thinks they are never supposed to feel pain is led by what feels good—the beast within—and not by the Spirit of God.

Job, hit by the worst satan could muster, said it best when he said, If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it. He feels but the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself. – Job 14:21-22

In other words, the Bible declares a good way to miss the important things in life is to focus on your pain. This is where depression begins. When you wrongly think you’re not supposed to have pain, you tend to have a meltdown when satan attacks or the path set before you begins to hurt. You miss the good and even the great when you focus on the painful.

Declaration:  Pain and tribulation that come my way in my life do not have the power to make me stop being faithful to Jesus. My heart cries out with compassion for those around me who suffer with such great heartbreak; I trust my Savior to show me how to reach out to others and help ease their pain. He shows me greater goodness in the world than I have ever seen.
