The Gift of Pain
Core Truth: While it has been rightly called "the gift nobody wants," our wise heavenly Father allows and even places pain in our lives for reasons that are always in our ultimate best interest and ever to His highest glory.
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-13 Amplified Bible
Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you. But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly].
