Our pain can lead to bitterness and bondage

God

When our questions make us doubt Gods heart,
our pain can lead to bitterness and bondage.
Yet in the security of our relationship with God,
He wants us to ask the hard questions
and look for answers that usher us into the depths of His redeeming love.
He wants us to live in the promise that He offers hope for our future despite the pain of our past.
He knows our past and our pain can actually lead us to His plans and hope for our future.

Are you a safe place to be real where people can unload all of their hurts , 
disappointments and doubts about God on you,
with no pat answers?   "She simply looked at me with understanding in her eyes and told me she was sorry.
Then she shared her story with me.   I didn't sense doubt or pain in her words.
Instead I sensed confidence and hope.
She referred to God as the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles,
so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive. from God.
She told me that Gods redeeming love was the source of her joy. 
She had allowed Him to take her pain and give her purpose." - Renee Swope

When You have heard My voice,
and are going to fulfill your mission to work for Me
and to draw souls to Me.
When little temptations come or big ones,
for love of Me you will conquer them.   God Calling
