Finding Purpose In Pain

When you're going through troubling times it's hard to imagine any good coming from it. Yet 
Romans 8:28 (NIV) declares, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

I'm living proof that God can use physical and emotional pain for a higher purpose. If it were not for my diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and herniated discs, I wouldn't have resigned from the beauty industry. 

If it were not for leaving the job I loved, I never would have tapped into my writing passion. More importantly, if it were not for my disabling condition, I never would have written my book, Harvest of Hope: Living Victoriously Through Adversity."

Despite negative experiences, huge setbacks, and extreme opposition, God can work behind the scenes to take your pain and brokenness to transform it into something significant. No matter what trouble or trauma lies in your past, our Heavenly Father wants to make you whole again. He wants to give you beauty from ashes. 

Today, have hope that Christ will use your negative experiences and turn it into something good. Never underestimate the power and grace of God!

I can't begin to describe how much of a divine miracle finding your blog was for me. Wow. Perfect timing. It's everything I needed plus some. Sending you so much love and light star sister! I am definatly interested in purchasing your book. I'm in a similar situation relationship wise with my ten month old son and a boyfriend struggling through addiction. It seems that we (me an you) think along the same lines. God found me, or had me find him , either way its life changing. I think we have a lot to share with each other, feel free to email me at jackie3ma@aol.com . Let your love guide you , I'm glad you are fighting for victorious love and happiness too!
