2 Corinthians 1:3-6

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation.”

Your painful experiences prepare you to be an effective witness!

“If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation,” says the Apostle Paul. One of the reasons God allows pain in your life is to make you a better witness. People who don’t know Jesus often connect much more strongly with the painful experiences in your life than with the blessings you love to experience.

You may be tempted to push God away in frustration when he allows painful experiences to come, but that is exactly when you need to draw close to him and ask him to walk through the valley with you, to be especially close to you. Your response to God in those times not only decides the positive or negative impact of your suffering in your life, but also weakens or strengthens your witness to others in your life in the future who may be going through hard times of their own.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

What are you facing in your life right now that is hard? How can you respond to it and to God in a way that will strengthen your witness in the future?
