Profitable Pain

God entrusts us with pain.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3


Profitable Pain

 

God entrusts us with pain.

 


It can be a Holy experience.

Or a repelling one.

It can draw us to Him.

Or spin us out of control.

It can break all pretenses.

Or be used to build a wall.

It can expose His light through the cracks.

Or cement us inside ourselves.

It can drive us to beg for His Presence.

Or keep it to ourselves.

It can break open the alabaster jar.

Or cause us to bury it deep instead.

It can awaken hope.

Or cause despair.

God uses pain to draw us to Him.

How will you respond?


I have learned that pain can be our friend.


If we allow it to lead us to the One Who loves us.


In what ways has pain led you closer to Christ?


In what ways have you allowed pain to give you an excuse to seek comfort and relief in the arms of counterfeit lovers?


Lord, may we never suffer pain without profiting from Your comfort, correction, or healing. May our pain be an agent of change in our lives for Your glory. Amen
