You Have God’s Word On It
By Rick Warren
“When you go through deep valleys, God is there with you, walking alongside you as you experience suffering. He knows it well. He’s been there. He understands. As one who knows great pain, Jesus is our Great Comforter. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul tells us that just as God comforts us in our troubles, so too can we comfort others. How will you respond to the pain in your life? Our faith tells us that Jesus is the course of victory in our lives even in the midst of suffering. That’s because God doesn’t waste a hurt. He can use that pain to direct us in the way he wants us to go, to reveal what’s inside of us, to perfect us, and to make us more like Himself. He is the Great Physician, who specializes in bringing blessing out of pain. Open up your life completely to him and get to know Jesus more intimately….Hide God’s word in your heart, surrender your will, and trust in God’s promises. He will carry you through to eternity. You have His Word on it!”
