Pain-it's where you find Jesus & know you have what it takes!

Pain is an undesired but necessary part of the maturation process. It's the catalyst that tests a persons faith; catapulting them forward-teaching perseverance to overcome and move through life. Pain is the opportunity to develop a steadfast faith and know Jesus intimately. Only Jesus can give a person what it takes to overcome trials. No one can take or experience another person's pain. Whether the pain is self imposed or brought on by the unpredictable circumstances of life...their relationship with Jesus is the bridge that leads to the other side of the trial; providing the confidence to know they have what it takes... because the relationship with Jesus' gives them what it takes. Pain experienced during the trial directs the person to the bridge...Jesus-He's the way, the truth and the life! Don't try to take a person's pain...you will block access to their bridge and cheat them out of knowing Jesus. Because only Jesus can give them what it takes...so they know they have what it takes!
