Its funny how hurt can bring about joy. This may not be the best analogy, but Ill be going to the gym to work out today. My body gets all sweaty and my muscles cry out for mercy. After the reintroduction of life into the muscles that dont see much action in my daily routine, they are then treated to the sauna and a shower. The results? More energy and a positive attitude toward life in general! If it hurts when the Lord gives you something hard to accomplish in your own power ... if it makes you cry out for mercy ... if you are almost CERTAIN you will perish if given one more ounce of weight to bear ... take HIS yoke upon your shoulders as you lay those burdens at His feet. The result of refining and purging of the soul is LIFE. The result of learning through these trials is WISDOM. The result of resting in the knowledge that He will not give you more than you can bear is PEACE. The result of going through the exercises and pain is STRENGTH. After the battle has been won ... you walk forth with PURPOSE. ~ Joe Lindsey ~ from Golden Treasures from a Rusty Box
