Sometimes God’s preparation comes packaged as pain.
Jesus saw all this coming and did not stop it. You may feel like God has forgotten you. If you have never felt alone and questioned God, you are not moving forward.
Don’t just look at life from a perspective of pain.
See your pain from a perspective of purpose. God needs to do something in you before He can do something in you.
Romans 8:28 NIV 28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
God works in all things, for the good According to God’s PURPOSE. Not according to your PAIN!
Greater the pain. Bigger the purpose!
