it's funny how we try to run from pain.
suffering, more than an ounce of sadness, can creep up on you in a heartbeat and soon we find ourselves looking for something- anything- to get out of that place. sleep it off, drink it off, pretend it away.
however... sometimes we are called to suffer.
sometimes satan wants to lure us out of that place, away from feeling that pain, with promises of an easier fix if we walk away from pressing into God.
i guess you could say i remembered the right perspective after hearing this morning's sermon. you can find it at imagodeicommunity.com if you might be suffering too and want to know what i'm talking about.
it's strange and sounds almost tweaky to people who don't have a relationship with Jesus, but nothing we ever go through is bigger than He is. our refuge, our everpresent help in times of trouble. His name is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are saved. there's beauty found in the places of suffering, a strength that is beyond what we are capable of on our own.
