Sometimes the Lord uses our pain and suffering for someone else’s benefit. Sometimes He allows us to go through difficult times and seasons in order to help other people. It’s hard to think that my pain might be someone else’s gain, but that is the example Jesus set and he did call us to follow Him. Though it might be hard to embrace, once we do, we learn that it’s really a blessing to be used by the Lord for someone else’s good; even if it means we have to endure hardship to get there.
