Bring On The Pain

"Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways."

Proverbs

Have you ever experienced something extremely painful?

You ask yourself, "Why is this happening to me?"

One of my favorite Proverbs answers that very question. Sometimes it takes painful experiences to make us change!

When we find ourselves in hard times, maybe with a job, in a relationship, financially, with family, physically or emotionally, instead of asking, "Why?" - ask, "HOW?"

"How is God changing me into what He wants me to be?"

We could rephrase the quote, "No pain, no gain" to "No pain, no change!"

When pain comes, we can face it head on, knowing that no matter how severe the pain, God causes all things (even painful change) to work together for good.
