Pain is a privilege. Pain produces steadfastness (James 1:2-4) Pain proves you belong to God...you are a son or daughter of His (Heb 12:7-11) Pain is temporary (2 Corinthians 4:7-18)

Blaming focuses on the problem OF pain rather than on God's purpose IN the pain. When you focus on God's purpose in the pain... … your MESS becomes your MESSAGE …your SCARS become your STORIES …your WOUNDS become your WORSHIP …your TEST becomes your TESTIMONY …your GRIEF becomes your GLADNESS …your BRUISE becomes your BLESSING …your TRAUMA becomes your THANKSGIVING …your HEARTBREAK becomes your HOPE …your FAILURE becomes your VICTORY!

Pain is a privilege because of how God uses it to complete us. Embrace the pain. Embrace the despair. It is in the pain and despair where God meets us and brings us through it! Contact us at thecordof3@gmail.com Cord of 3 on IG: @cord_of_3 Spencer on IG: @sbreedlovefca Lisa on IG: @breedlovelisa
