If you are going to grow through what you’re going through, it has everything to do with your ability to hear from God.
Three things you desperately need to hear God shout when you’re in pain.
- I am here.
- I am able.
- I am working.
Genesis 45:5
How God often uses pain to work for you:
- To direct you
- To inspect you
- To correct you
- To protect you
- To perfect you
The God that shouts “I am here” silences the voice of isolation, and gives you his presence.
The God that shouts “I am able” brings beauty out of the ashes.
Romans 8:28
The work of God in your life is most noticeable not in the absence of pain but in the middle of it.
