You've probably never heard of Dr. June McCarroll, but she's a woman who truly left her mark on the world. Born in Nebraska, she was a general practitioner who lived in california. Interestingly enough, her claim to fame lies outside the world of medicine. She had an accident which triggered her wild success story. That is why the Holy Ghost has emphasized constantly that you must invest your pain and not waste it.
Life is a battlefield and it was a cross that gave birth to the crown. What does not kill you will make you stronger. One day while driving, her car was brushed by another car and she determined to do something about cars that brushed others and scared other off the road. That is why you must always remember that, pain allowed by God is for a reason to bless the world. God does not allow pain to make you leave a painful life. He wants to ride your pain, using it as a megaphone to announce His glory to the world.
Paul had a past error which was used by God to announce his glory. Paul was a persecutor (Bad news) who became a propagator of GOOD NEWS. That's how God deals with you also. He wants to turn your current weaknesses, failures, trials into a megaphone to announce His glory. This woman would have gone to her house whine, murmur, complain, and question God on why her beautiful car was dented that day, but instead, she asked the question that millions forget to ask in crisis" "WHY DID GOD ALLOW THIS?" the "WHY" will always leads to the "WHAT". God can use your delay in child birth to blesd somebody else. God can use your divorce experience to help lonely lives/struggling marriages God can use you being unmarried today to bless other singles. God can yes your financial struggles to encourage others who are financially frustrated. *No experience of a born again child of God is casual or a waste and nothing happens by accident.
I have been wondering for years on why (psalm 119:62) says you must lift up your holy hands in the night. (psalm 119:55) says: "I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night , and i have kept your law." Also Psalm 134"1 says "Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD."
The word, "NIGHT" stands for pain, crisis and the time when at "night", the light of God's love seems to dim from your presence. Even at such seasons of confusion, delay and uncertainty, you must stand in the house of the Lord. To "STAND" means to invest your agony instead of complaining or comparing yourself to others in self pity. That is why the Holy Ghost is reminding you again that your battle are for a reason, are for season (not forever) and you must invest your pain and not spend it murmuring. Yes! Pain can either be invested or spent. Turn your experience into developmental activities in your community, office, church, family. INVEST YOUR PAIN! God in His mercy gave me the grace to invest my disappointments, failures, and mistakes. Yes indeed, life is like a game of chess and you must learn to play it wisely.
Life can sometimes be very tough but without your challenges, life will not be called life. The downs of your life are the ladders to the ups which makes life more enjoyable. A wise man said: "Never just sit down and dream, set your dream and chase it until you make it. Never give up."
Dr. June MacCarroll invested her pain and made it and you too can, to the shame of the devil.
