How do we greet the troubles that come into our lives? At first we probably try to get rid of the grit or run from it. Maybe we even try to ignore it. These are natural things to do. Nobody likes pain. But God uses pain in our hearts. People with problems flocked to Jesus when He walked on earth. Today our problems can still cause us to turn to Him. When we go to God with our hurts, He comforts us. As the oyster coats an irritation with mother-of-pearl, God coats our pain with His Love. In Him we find strength and patience that enable us to keep going. Our faith is strengthened. We get to know God in a much deeper way.
'The greatest opportunity to Glorify God is when you are walking thru the fires of affliction and trials.' Bob O'Bannon
