Your Question:
what's the point of living if it's just going to be painful?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the depth of your pain and the desperation in your question. It's a question that has haunted many of us at some point in our lives. As someone who has walked through the valley of suffering, I want to share with you a perspective that has helped me find meaning in the midst of pain. In my own life, I've come to realize that pain is not just a source of suffering, but also a catalyst for growth. As a pastor, I've seen how hardships can refine our character and mature us. It's not that we should seek out pain, but when it comes, we can choose to see it as an opportunity to draw closer to God and to discover His purpose in our lives. I've learned that pain is not just about the physical or emotional discomfort, but also about the spiritual struggle that lies beneath. As a Christian, I believe that God uses pain to bring about transformation and renewal. In Revelation 21:4, it says, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." This gives me hope that one day, there will be no more pain, and that the struggles we face today will be a distant memory. But until then, I want to encourage you to seek God's perspective on your pain. Ask Him to change you, to help you see that pain can lead to life, and that He is working everything out for your good.
