Pain

"Pain can change you, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom." ~ "Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 GNT

Pain...we all have experienced it in our lives. When I saw the Bible verse years ago, "Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 GNT our son had recently died in a car accident. That very painful experienced helped me to see life in a whole new way. As difficult as it was, with God's help, I gained wisdom through that painful experience.

There certainly are different kinds of pain. But no matter what kind of pain it is we can gain wisdom by it.

Maybe our bad habits have cause our pain. Maybe our pain is caused by a painful experience. Maybe we don't know why we're having pain. It doesn't matter what caused the pain. We can gain wisdom by going through the experience, if we choose to.

"Pain can change you, but that pain doesn't mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom." Sorry to say but, Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 GNT
