"I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he gives us the gift of suffering. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. You see, we are like blocks of stone out of which the Sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much are what make us perfect."

C.S. Lewis' thoughts on the purpose of suffering are incredibly true, and still, naturally, we want to avoid suffering at all costs, because, well, it hurts!

Today on Rinse and Repeat we begin a new series on the topic of suffering, and today's message explores 2 Corinthians 4:16

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 

Join me today as we TAKE HEART even in dark hours of suffering, and begin to see God's purpose in pain.
