All of us go through pain, or suffering at some point in our lives. I apologize to y'all I don't have any scripture today. I just really feel like somebody needs this today. What I am about to share with y'all are my notes from Rick Warren's sermon at the Southern Baptist Convention a couple of weeks ago.
Why does God give us pain?
1. To direct us.
2. To inspect us.
3. To correct us.
4. To protect us.
5. To perfect us.
What should we do with this pain that we have?
1. Use pain to draw close to God.
2. Study psalms of lament.
3.Draw close to others.
4.Use pain to become more like Christ.
5. Use the pain to help others.
6. Use the pain as a witness to the world.
Pain is a part of life. I just pray that all of us take this to heart. The best thing we can do with pain, is to use it for God's Glory.
Bro. Michael
