Forge Purpose
Let me ask you a pointed question: What if your circumstances don’t change? An even more difficult question to confront is this: What if your circumstances get worse?
One of the most revitalizing, hope-building decisions you can make is to forge purpose from your pain.
It’s easy to focus on the darker shades of the palette of life. But do we have a full appreciation of the true beauty and majesty that life can bring?
The wonder of a star-filled spring night, the feeling that comes from laughing so hard you cry, old friends, raising children, building a career, buying a puppy, making a difference in someone’s life, seeing prayers answered.
Forging purpose while you are suffering is a way of exploring the brighter end of the spectrum—the side of wonder, of laughter, of joy.
The purpose you develop must be bigger than the pain you have endured.
“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 will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NASB1995
