Share It with Others

There are times when God will allow us to go through a painful season so He can birth something new inside. If you go through something you don’t understand, God allowed this to happen because He trusts you. He knows He can count on you to take the same comfort, the same healing, the same encouragement that helped you overcome this trouble, and share it with others.

Don’t get caught up in a painful situation wondering, “Where does this piece of my puzzle go? It’s ugly, and it doesn’t make sense.” Keep moving forward. Go out and find somebody you can help. Healing comes when you get outside yourself and help others. As long as you stay focused on your pain, what you lost, what didn’t work out, you’re going to get stuck. There’s a blessing in that pain. When you’ve been through something, you’re uniquely qualified to help and comfort somebody else in that situation. Look for opportunities. God is counting on you to help others facing the same thing.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that there are lessons in the painful situations I experience that I can use to help others. Thank You that I have something to give, some encouragement to share, some wisdom to impart. Help me to give away what You’ve given to me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
