Do you ever feel like
you just can’t stand the pain anymore? I sure do. The other day I had some
treatment using a new electronic gadget and it stirred up all kinds of toxins
in my body that had been lying dormant for years. I felt was far worse after
the treatment than before. The doctor knows what is best for our recovery, even
if he brings pain. This also applies with our Heavenly Physician:
Hebrews 12:10-11 (MSG)
God is doing what is
best for us, training us to live God's holy best. At the time, discipline isn't
much fun. It always feels like it's going against the grain. Later, of course,
it pays off handsomely, for it's the well-trained who find themselves mature in
their relationship with God.
“God whispers to us in
our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His
megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”—C.S. Lewis
