Sometimes, pain is the only thing that gets our attention. But it’s not God’s first choice. Before the pain, God often sends a voice, a friend, a mentor, a coach, a parent—someone who can see what we can’t. Ignoring these voices leaves us with pain as the only option to turn things around.
But here’s the treasure in pain: it doesn’t have to break you; it can build you. I’ve been burned by the fire, and I’m not stepping back in. I’ve almost drowned in the waters, but I’m not letting myself go under again. I can’t control others trying to pull me down, but I won’t drown myself.
Let your pain fuel your purpose. Don’t go back to what broke you. Move forward with wisdom and strength.
