Pain often drives people to act in ways that are comforting and anesthetizing in the short term, but negative and damaging in the long term. Often, overwhelming circumstances come to shift us into the next stage of purpose. God can and does bring purpose to pain in the lives of His children. However, He does not comfort us to make us comfortable. He comforts us to make us comforters. God wants you to realize today that you cannot be anything else to your family and friends until you become what you are supposed to be to Him. God wants to speak a word to you in the midst of your trauma. It’s never too late to begin again with God. You did not come this far for your story to end like this…get up and get moving—God has plans for you!
