GROWTH IN OUR PAIN AND PAIN INTO PURPOSE

1 Peter 5:10 New King James Version
10 But [a]may the God of all grace, who called [b]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [c]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
I found these verses out of scripture rather interesting, because not too long ago I had the privilege of doing a devotional through the Time Warp Wife, entitled, “Discovering Joy: Not Because Life is Perfect, But Because God is Faithful”, by Darlene Schacht. The devotional is about finding Real joy in the midst of the painful circumstances, because life isn't perfect, but God is faithful. I remember how God really spoke to my heart through that devotional and helped me see that joy isn't in my circumstances, but it's found in Jesus Christ, and it's something I try to cling to every day. I think that's why these questions from this morning's devotional really challenged me really got me to thinking about this issue, and I had to share these questions with you tonight. Please check these questions out, and I pray that they’ll speak to your heart through this.

How has God helped you grow in faith through suffering?

How have you embraced gratitude?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me not just from this passage of scripture, but through what God has been showing me about this very issue of finding purpose through the pain and suffering that we experience, through this blog I'd like to share with you tonight, and I pray that what I share will help you to see that you can truly find that pain and purpose in whatever you are experiencing. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this precious truth for yourself! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I challenge you all to think about these questions from this morning's devotional, but I also want to share these precious truths that I learned there's something about this from Darlene through this study. “Jeremiah 29:11 truly reminds us that God is always at work, even when we can't see the full picture. That His plans are good, His promises are short, and his timing is perfect.” Darlene also states that “joy isn't about waiting for life to get easier. It's about discovering God's unshakable presence, right in the thick of it all. He meets us in our brokenness gives us beauty for ashes and offers a joy that the world can't take away.” Above all, I pray that you realize that God has a plan and a purpose to help you with the pain that you're going through, and if you allow Him to do so, God will take that pain and turn into a beautiful purpose that will honor Him. God will never waste our pain, so we shouldn't either.

UNTIL THURSDAY:

HAVE A WILDY BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
