NO GAIN WITHOUT PAIN(Rev. Lola George-Akoke)
NO GAIN WITHOUT PAIN:
When we are on the receiving end of pain and can’t yet see or understand why we’re in such trials, we can find it so hard to trust God. But as imperfect parents, we often inflict pains on our children for their own good. Most times we could be seen as the source of their pains, even though we’re only doing what is best for them.
So how much more must God, our perfect Father, be doing for us when we’re experiencing pain?
Like any good parent, God fully understands the pains we feel, and He is with us in them, but He allows us to go through them because He has a greater good in mind for us.
Can we trust Him in that? It’s hard, I know. But that’s also why we place our hope in Him. Our hope is that one day the pains will end and we’ll live with Him in a pain-free eternity, where there is no more brokenness and we are all made whole.
We are blessed by a God who loves us and will never leave us.
We are blessed with the gift of His grace that allows us to spend eternity with Him in a place free of trials and free of brokenness.
Today, why don't you trust Him in your pains, so that after being broken, you can be moulded exactly to what He wants you to be. A BETTER YOU that He can walk with and work through this year.
Read these Scriptures:
Romans 5:3-5; Romans: 8:17-18.
God bless you!
