are you broken by grief?

there are two types of people in this world:  those who choose to live and dwell in their pain and those who choose to use their pain for others' gain.  

"grief can break you"

i am reading the book "in a pit with a lion on a snowy day" and thought i would share an important concept.

"if you don't turn your adversity into a ministry, then your pain remains your pain.  but if you allow God to translate your adversity into a ministry, then your pain becomes someone else's gain.

i have a theory:  the more problems you have, the more potential you have to help people.  

God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.  when others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."

"bleeding"

don't be paralyzed by your pain - ask God how you can use your pain to help another.

what is the answer to a grieving, broken heart?  the one answer to every question - - - God
