8-4-24 Living in Christ James 4:2-4f

How can you find pleasure out of pain, by understanding that everything that God allows to happen in your life has a purpose. the purpose in pain is to bring us into a closer relationship with God. Think about it. When are you most apt to call out to God, in your pleasure or in your pain? Usually it is in your pain that you cry out to Him. But if you understand that there is a purpose for what you are going through in life, if you will let your suffering and pain train you, teach you, and mold you, then in the end you will find pleasure in God knowing that He loves you, He never leaves you.
