Think about all of the troubles you have endured throughout
your life. Think about every single time that life seemed to be too much for
you. Now think about every the times in your life when you felt closest to
Christ. If you are real with yourself then you must admit to yourself that the
two coincide greatly. Pain pushes us toward the Lord. But look pack through
your pain and you will see God working. You will see Jesus shaping you into the
person that He called you to be.
A shift in focus can shift how you persevere through your
trials. Look back over all that God has done in each of your previous
vexations. Remember how He came through then. Don’t think so much about your
hurt, but look at what God is doing in your hurt. God wants to make you perfect
and complete. He is making you spiritually mature so that you won’t be lacking anything
that you need. See yourself persevering through pain. See yourself becoming
more and more like Jesus. Why? God does.
