Sheep, we are at the end of another year and we are all exhausted at a time when many activities are completed and the deadlines are tight and demanding. We have countless extraordinary celebrations and meetings, which end up further reducing our already limited time.
This week I heard someone who was really exhausted, I couldn’t stop crying as he told me all the efforts to keep his schedule, but besides, he really went through a period of significant pain in the soul.
- After ten long years of love.
- She finally got married.
- And you know what’s coming before a dream wedding.
- Right?Many important decisions.
- Such as finding where to live.
- Resolving tensions and small disagreements.
- Fixing the economic life that will be joint.
- Planning new acquisitions and planning together to live together.
- Among others.
- But that wasn’t the case with this friend.
- After a month of marriage.
- He.
- The husband.
- Thought the marriage wasn’t for him and left.
He broke this woman’s heart into infinite pieces of rose, with her soul truly broken, her heart without the strength to react, everything she has done is flooded with tears and she can barely see her future as she struggles to stop crying. the desired life sank.
It is very difficult to walk with a person who is in the midst of pain and suffering, the feeling of helplessness is real and gigantic, but so it was, in the midst of sobs, without words to explain or comfort this intense pain, that I held in the hands of this friend, looked her in the red eyes and prayed to God, I begged the Lord to guide us and that her grace would teach us what we needed to be saved from the dark background of the well of pain.
I don’t know what your pain is today. Your eyes can read these lines through the incessant tears of your heart, but if you still insist on reading this text, it may be for you.
When our Lord revealed his promises to us, He made him the beacon of light that saves us from the shipwrecks. Reading and praying for God’s promises in the scriptures assures us that we can shipwreck in great storms without drowning in pain.
We will often be taken to turbulent places where we cannot rely on our own strength or any other human strength, so only the supernatural force of the Holy Ghost will support us. Will it not be the God who sustains the world with the power of his word [2] to be able to sustain our souls in the midst of the hell of pain?
In these days of darkness and intense pain, God prepares us, models us in the image of Jesus Christ, who suffered for us on the cross, shed all his blood so that we may have life, life, sheep, life in abundance. I know that when the soul hurts, the mind cannot think clearly and our body is slow, everything gets sick in us Who will comfort us?Who’s going to understand us?
We must remember that in times of crisis, God is with us and our pain does not paralyze the life of the spirit in us. As we walk along the way, as we live daily life, God works in changes in our eternal soul, He continues to work on us. Transformations occur in you through your suffering. Jesus knows how we suffer because he himself suffered our pains [3], he was also rejected, humiliated, ashamed, went through pain and loneliness, so he came as a man, to savor and know our pains and temptations [4]. he was the firstborn among the brothers to enter heaven and prepare for a place.
I do not know the duration, magnitude, height, and depth of his pain, but the Lord knows, he has a defined time [5] for his pain to cease, and it is time to be humiliated and exalted [6]. this, God takes care of you.
Suffering will make you someone who has tasted the power of God, and this experience is unique and personal, only between you and your Lord. Astonished and renewed, you will be a woman capable of loving and comforting with the authority of someone who has been cleansed by fire.
Go ahead, sheep!
Perhaps the time has come to abandon yourself to God’s care and wait.
The pain will end, sheep, you are simply purified by the goldsmith.
Psalm 30
I will exalt you, O Lord, because you have delivered me and did not allow my enemies to rejoice against me. Lord my God, I called you for help and you healed me. O LORD, You have raised my soul from the bottomless pit; You saved my life so I wouldn’t go down to the grave Praise the Lord, you who are his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. Because his anger is only a moment; your favor lasts a lifetime. In the evening, crying may come, but joy comes in the morning. As for myself, I said in my prosperity: I will never be moved. You, Lord, have strengthened my mountain for your favor; You just turned your face away, I was immediately confused. For you, oh Lord, I cried, I pleaded with the Lord. How much benefit will you get from my blood when I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth? Hey Lord and have mercy on me, be my help Lord. You have made of my tears child’s play; You took my bag and surrounded me with joy, so that my spirit sings praises to you and does not remain silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
If you do not know who God is, you may not know what he is capable of in your life, read this book, know that God is sovereign, and, at all times, govern all things, make you rest under His care. .

An unwavering heart? Living God’s Comfort in the Storms of Life, by Elyse Fitzpatrick, Faithful Editor
Walking with God through pain and suffering, Timothy Keller, New Life
This book answers four questions about suffering. Keller has a distinctive look that surprises and delights the reader.
?
[1] Looking at the author and consummate of the faith, Jesus, who, in exchange for the joy offered to him, suffered the cross without heeding ignorance. Hebrews 12. 2
[2] He, who is the glare of glory and the exact expression of his Being, who sustains all things with the word of his power. Hebrews 1. 3
[3] He was despised and the most rejected among men; a man who suffers and who knows what it is to suffer; and as one of whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we ignore him. Certainly he took our weaknesses and took our troubles; and we consider him afflicted, wounded by God and oppressed. Isaiah 53: 3-4
[4] For this very reason, it was desirable that in everything he should be done as his brethren, to be a faithful and merciful high priest as far as God is concerned, and to make atonement for the sins of the people. He himself has suffered, having been judged, can help those who are tempted. Hebrews 2: 17-18
[5] Everything has its own determined time, and there is time for every purpose under heaven: there is a time to be born and a time to die; time to plant and time to harvest the planted; time to kill and time to heal; time to demolish and time to build; time to cry and time to laugh; time to cry and time to jump for joy; time to scatter the stones and time to collect the stones; time for hugs and time to get away from hugs time to look and time to waste; time to save and time to throw away; tear time and sewing time; time to shut up and time to talk; time to love and time to get bored; Ecclesiastes time of war and peacetime 3. 1-8
[6] Therefore, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up at the right time, rejecting upon him all your concern, for he cares for you. 1 Stone 5. 6-7
