All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Does He use our pain for His glory?

Here I sit tempted to feel sorry for myself. I'm still young but do not feel my age. I ache all of the time. Right now what hurts is my back but especially my legs.

The only thing I can think of to help is to know if this pain isn't in vain.

So,does He use our physical pain for His Sake and to be able to help others who are suffering? For if He gets to glory and it'll be able to help others somehow than it is worth it. I just need to know.

Little sis,

Check out Johnny's testimony. You can turn it off after that if you wish, the whole thing is very beautiful, but very long:

I'm so sorry that you are in pain. I can't tell you that I understand, because I am not in chronic pain. I would be wrong to say that I know what it's like. I am sure it leaves you feeling lonely at times...because no one can truly understand what you are going through except for you. I have gone through pain though, heartache. Sometimes it felt chronic, sometimes I felt very alone...but I wasn't, and you're not alone either. God is with us, and He pulls us through. He doesn't always remove the pain, but He pulls us through one day at a time.

I believe it is not our pain that brings God glory, as much as it is how we respond to the pain, that's what brings God glory. When people see Christians that are suffering, and everyone would truly understand if we were angry and not very friendly, but instead we help others going through what we are going through, someone else enduring what we are enduring, and we do it with compassion and mercy, we do it with a smile or a hug, when we encourage and bring hope to others...the world takes notice. They wonder how it is we can help others while undergoing tremendous pain of our own. The Glory belongs to God. :) He is with us, and He gets us through...we are not just telling people about God, we are showing them what it is to know God.
I believe we are allowing them to see Christ in us.

Our Christlike example in our suffering, speaks volumes as to what it is to be a Christian...and that is for His Glory. That's what I believe.

God Bless You
