We shouldn’t worry about pain. God is in control. God says that He is close to the broken hearted and that He will turn your ashes into beauty. Trust that the pain will be used for something beautiful in your life. Allow it to be used for something beautiful in your life.
That pain could be the very thing, the very existence of thrusting you into something so divine, something so much bigger than you could ever dream of. Allow it to thrust you into greatness!
I read something very similar to this 2 years ago when I first lost my husband. At the time it was almost impossible to imagine that could be true, yet I held on to the hope of those words, even when nothing seemed to change. Today, even though life is not yet as I hope it can be, I see the truth in those words as God works daily to turn the ashes of my old life into something new and wonderful - different, yet still a blessing of happiness and...peace. Thank you for reiterating and reminding me by posting those comforting words. Jerry
