Your Promotion Is In Your Pain
Through The Pain
1 Peter 4:12-13 (ESV) Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Matthew 26:24 (ESV) If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Pain is the path to your purpose
Purpose = Change
Change = Loss
Loss = Pain
Purpose = Pain
Isaiah 66:8 (ESV) as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children.
Your Promotion Is In Your Pain
1 Peter 5:10 (ESV) after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1. Run TO it rather than FROM it

2. Lean IN rather than OUT
3. Get BETTER rather than get BY
