Reading today I couldn’t help but share a couple thoughts on pain.  Its never a fun thing to talk about and can become laborious and overwhelming when we focus on it.  But there is something we often forget “God is going to make sure you get where He wants you to go.  He is always working behind the scenes, engineering our circumstances and setting us up for success.”

Funny how in the middle of pain or life size challenges we forget to look at the opportunity.  Maybe its out of fear…because we are scared to fail or take a risk.  Funniest part of life…failure is the cure to fear itself.  So how is it that some people find the opportunity in opposition and others run and hide?

Perspective…when we are overwhelmed and feel like we can’t continue…it’s usually our perception of reality that is closing us in, not reality itself. Usually we are so focused on the problem…who to blame and what went wrong…that we fail to ask ‘Jesus, this isn’t fun…but why am i here?  What do You want out of this?’

I know many of you began to wrestle with deep pain last night and began to allow Wholeness to join HOPE.  Remember this week that joy is a choice and that the most powerful thing you can do is worship even when you don’t feel like it.

This life isn’t ours…it’s His…Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep your from worshiping whats right with God.
