All Things In Our Lives Are Open and Laid Bare Before God
What does God know about you? The obvious answer is EVERYTHING. But when you stop and really consider what God knows, you may find that it is quite comforting in the sense that He is intimately acquainted with everything you do and His love for you is more than you can even comprehend. On the other side, it is convicting that God knows everything. He knows the wrong intentions of our heart... (posted by Jeanine 2 years 292 days ago.)

Pain Brings Us Closer To God
Psalm 56:8 says, "Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Thy bottle; Are they not in Thy book?" Have you ever felt flooded by tears that just won't stop? God knows each and every tear that falls from your eyes and He understands the pain behind the tears. I've been there, and have found myself wondering why God allows particular circumstances in my life. Ecclesiastes 7:14 says, "In the day of... (posted by Jeanine 2 years 300 days ago.)

How Suffering Can Bring About Good in Our Lives
"Experience is the the hardest teacher. It gives the test first and then the lesson" (Taken from "The Power of Suffering" by John Mac Arthur, Jr.) Wouldn't we all like to get the lesson without the suffering? I know I would, but that just isn't how life works. Sometimes we are tested by things that threaten to break us and bring us down to points of despair we have never felt before. What kind of tests...

The Wisdom We Gain Through Suffering
Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". Has God brought you to a place in your life where you recognize that you need Him? Sometimes we are tested by things that threaten to break us and bring us down to points of despair we have never felt before.

You work eight or more hours a day, come home to responsibilities, find time for exercise, socializing, important tasks, etc. At the end of the day it wouldn't be a surprise if there was no time for quiet and introspection. We've become so accustomed to busyness that when there is quiet, it can be frightening. I heard someone say that they have to have the television going on in the background...
