No one likes to suffer. No one likes pain. They\'re horrible, awful, and miserable to the nth degree but... We can rejoice in our sufferings because we know God is using life\'s hardships and pain to build our character. And as we persevere in the midst of pain and suffering it builds our endurance, much like a runner who\'s training for a long race. As our endurance builds, our character is shaped to reflect our Heavenly Father\'s. Then, as our character is strengthened hope is produced and hope is a beautiful thing. Hope keeps us focused on eternity and reminds us we can endure all things because of the Holy Spirit who dwells inside of us. Hope puts a smile on our face in the midst of unimaginable pain. Hope gives us strength to do all God\'s created us for even when we don\'t understand, even when we\'re exhausted, defeated, and overwhelmed. Hope...it allows us to rejoice in our sufferings. Suffering > Endurance > Character > Hope Can you see the glimmer or hope on the horizon? Can you find a song of rejoicing in your heart despite your suffering?

Don\'t let chronic pain or illness rob you of hope or joy! Instead, cling to these words from Isaiah 41:10 In this passage, the prophet Isaiah was reminding Israel that God had chosen and called them. Fast forward to today and... this verse is for every single person who calls Jesus, Savior and Lord. So... Are you a Christian woman who\'s suffering with chronic pain or struggling under the weight of a chronic illness (or two)? If so, God says to you: \"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.\" If your sickness or pain has you depressed, weak, and without hope... Call on God Cling to God\'s righteous right hand The next verse says that enemies who rage against and oppose God\'s servants, will perish. You\'ll look for them and won\'t be able to find them. Don\'t let the enemy of pain or illness hold you back. Instead, let it drive you into the protective arms of Almighty God. He has plans for you my friend. God wants to use your #chronicpain and #chronicillness for His glory. Will you allow God to use your suffering to reflect His love, mercy, and grace to the world around you?
