Have you considered that the suffering you’ve experienced in life was ordained by God? Have you considered that there might be a divine purpose for your pain? Or, if you have not, and you simply look back with bitterness—perhaps you are wasting your suffering. God has a purpose for our suffering. The suffering and wounds, once healed, can equip us to help others who, like you, have endured their own pain and suffering. God’s compassion and grace be with you as you listen.
