| Dear Afflicted,
I have seen your pain, I've tasted what haunts you; there is seemingly no reason or pattern to all of this worldly madness. There is more devastation and emotional destruction in this life than I could have ever imagined, and O how quickly we fall into it. Could it be that we inflict this pain on our own minds and impale our hearts with lies; those which are accepted or spoken by our own lips? Often I find myself reducing my expectations of God according to my weak faith of the moment. Surely we do, as complete and depraved sinners, lose sight of God's true power and sovereignty because of our own weakness and selfishness. There is much more to trials than just what you see.
Every trial or hard time that you go through is a chance to change; to have more faith and die a little more. In the midst of pain and heartache the only true escape is to surrender and die to yourself again. As counterintuitive as it seems, falling on your face at the feet of God when all you desire is to stand again and rise above the pain is one of the most difficult and important decisions you'll ever make. There is release in the arms of Christ. Every moment you suffer, every tear that falls rages within your soul and creates a desire to be free like never before. Although, after we have coped with pain so long it becomes more of a drug than a curse. If we feel pain, we become depressed and are "relieved" for the moment because we are numb. Beloved, there is nothing more joyful than having victory through Christ over pain and depression. No, I am not saying that all pain is something we should just "get over", there are times that grieving is necessary. Yes, I am saying that the pain you feel is real; I'm not doubting that. However you do not have to be enslaved to it or controlled by it. Our God is an awesome God. He is a God of healing, a God of grace, a God of truth, and a God of love. There is freedom in surrender.
Step In Faith,
Brandt
