God's Plan in Pain


Wisdom is...thinking from God's point of view.
  


Repentance... is changing the way you think to the way God thinks.



Pain... If you focus on it's purpose, it is much easier to handle. 



  
God uses pain to help us find our purpose.

  


Pain can be a stepping stone to maturity or a stumbling block in your relationship with God. 




We must harvest our hurts.  



We must gain from our pain. 



God doesn't create the pain, but He does use it.  



When you are in pain, run to God and not away from Him.



God's number purpose in my pain is to make me like Jesus.  




If God is making me to be like Jesus, He will take me through what Jesus went through.




Pain never leaves you where it found you. 




Resilience is the number factor of success. 



We all fall, but not everyone gets up. 



We must have a eternal viewpoint.  



We must look past the pain.  



Your greatest ministry will come out of your deepest pain.




Our witness comes out of how we handle our weaknesses and not out of our strengths.  




Our suffering gives us our credibility not success.    




Tell God exactly how you feel about your pain. 



Worship God in all the phases of grief.
