Pain can be very hard to deal with. Sometimes, it may seem that you aren’t actually able to move forward in life and do what you need to do in order to survive. It may seem that the pain is too great.
Somewhere beyond this present moment there is a future that you need to make it to. There are people who need what you have, because it’s something that only you can give them.
Someone once told me that, if you don’t fulfill your destiny, then God will just raise up someone else who will. Nothing could be further from the truth. Buried deep within your potential is a life that no one else will ever be able to live but you.
You are not replaceable.
You have a destiny, a purpose for being alive on the face of the Earth, and if you don’t fulfill your destiny, then no one else ever will.
So, take heart. Know that God is with you, even though it may not seem like it right now. The things in life that seem too hard to bear are shaping and preparing you for what’s next. Lean into God, and he will help you to respond to the challenges in the best way possible.
