WHEN GOD GIVES YOUR PAIN PURPOSE

 What I have realised through my journey is that Jesus doesn’t waste any pain, He instead gives it purpose. As much as we all hate pain, the truth is we have resilience to endure pain if there’s a purpose. Fact is God uses our deepest pain to fulfil His greatest purpose in our lives, He also uses our pain to reveal to us our purpose in life. He uses our difficult experiences to shape our characters, to strengthen our faith in Him, and to prepare us for a greater purpose in our lives, while transforming our suffering into a source of hope, empathy, and service to others. 

At some point in my life I was hurt, I was broken, I was ashamed, I went insane, lost all the spark, I was bleeding in silence not knowing if I’m going forward or backwards, I had lost all hope and my smile lied better than any mask ever could because I thought here I am trying my best to be a good person, but God has forgotten about me. I thought God didn’t hear my prayers because I was praying hard but still bad things and injustice was my daily portion. But let me tell you even in the silence God is with you, in the pain God is with you, in the moments of tears, He is right there with you, God never leaves through all and it the midst of it He is there holding your hand and catching each and every tear that you cry. My painful experience, betrayal, hurt, disappointment etc. was not wasted but it was all part of God's plan to lead me to a life He purposed for me (And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose – Romans 8:28🙏🏾🙏🏾).

God used my pain to shape my character and build resilience in me. I have learned through therapy that through trials, we develop greater patience, wisdom, and a deeper dependence on God. God used my pain to prepare me for a greater calling, my pain revealed my hidden strengths and passions, preparing me to be a leader and furnishing me with tools to help others in their own personal battles. God used my pain to show me that people don’t leave because we stop loving them, they leave because we start loving ourselves and stop settling. God used my pain to show me peace doesn’t come free; it comes at a cost and sometimes it costs us everything. God used my pain to show me that when peace gets louder, He becomes visible to us, we hear him, His voice gets loud and clearer. God used my pain to deepen my faith and trust in Him. He is my purifier and like gold He let me go through the fire to be refined and purified, my faith was strengthened through my pain and suffering, which lead me to a more intense understanding of God's love and sovereignty. God used my pain to fill me with empathy and hope, for me experiencing hardship allowed me to better understand and comfort those who are in pain and are suffering, it allowed me to help them turn their scars into a message of hope.

I have also learned through therapy that through pain and suffering, there is a lesson God is teaching me. I learned that I should ask “what is God trying to teach me through this experience?" Instead of questioning "Why me?" I should instead ask what lessons or strengths God might be revealing through the pain. I have learned to invite God into my pain, as hard as it is I’m slowing learning to not rush through the hurt but instead invite God into the process of me hurting, trusting Him to guide me and sustain me through the difficult process. I have learned to look for what my future purpose is in every painful situation. I now know that my pain is not the end of my story but a potential doorway to God’s greater purpose for my life, and that my experiences both painful and good can become a legacy of hope for others. Through the pain God is teaching me that everything I lose creates space for everything I need.

My biggest lesson is that our pain has a purpose and that we are human, as long as we live in this world, our loving God is going to allow pain to touch us at times in order to “get our attention and wake us up”. We all need a reminder to turn away from worldly things of the flesh and turn our focus to Jesus, Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret -2 Corinthians 7:10🙏🏾🙏🏾

 

I must give myself a huge applause even though I was breaking, I survived because I had no other choice but to find the broken pieces within me that I was meant to heal from. I’m really proud of the woman that kept going and refused to give up. The divorce that I thought was the end of me, wasn’t the end of me, it was actually the beginning of me finding myself again. I thought I was broken but honestly, I was unknowingly building within myself wisdom, resistance, resilience, patience, and strength that I didn’t know I had. The hurricane didn’t break me or destroy me, but it revealed the warrior in me, it revealed the queen👑that I am, and it revealed the real me💖

My journey continues and I strive to move towards a happier and more fulfilling life🥂💃🏽🥰 I’m Just A Small Girl With A Big God🙏🏽💕 Mercy Rewrote My Life🙏🏽💕Mercy Said No🙏🏽💕 Grace Has Located Me🙏🏽💕 I Am An Overcomer🙏🏾💕A Very Beautiful Story❤️ Live in the moment, Laugh harder, Love💖 deeply & Celebrate more💕🎉🥂💃🏽🥰

 

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in Him but also suffer for His sake - Philippians 1:29🙏🏾🙏🏾
