Finding Purpose In Discomfort - CD/DVD/MP3 Download

God does everything out of love for us, for our benefit. This includes putting us in uncomfortable situations. It is a mistake to think that because we have been born again, we will never encounter any tribulation, suffering, or adversity; just like the Spirit of God led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil, we can expect Him to lead us through our own trials to make us more like Him. When God wants us to grow and develop spiritually, He brings us out of our comfort zone. As we go through something painful and difficult, God’s intent is to bring us through it stronger than before; enduring it allows Him to mature us and teach us to think differently. Spiritual growth is a path we walk as believers; on the journey, God uses the hurtful things to mold and shape us into His image. Despite our weaknesses, relying on His strength gives us not only purpose and direction, but also the ability to endure what others cannot.
