How to Find the Purpose in Your Pain: Loving Your Enemies

Can I be transparent for a moment?

As I navigate post-divorce life with someone who worked overtime to hurt me, I find it amazing that God uses my love for them to heal me. 

Through the power of prayer, as I make intentional strides to love the person who causes me pain, I find that God sets me free of the hurtful bondage that they brought into my life. 

This is because intercession is a powerful tool. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit to genuinely pray well for someone who doesn’t mean you well. Yet, it is through my obedient prayers that I’m finding God rewards me with healing and His peace.

How to Find the Purpose in Your Pain: Book Excerpt 1

Well, my name is Jordone. 

In my life, I have endured more than the average amount of pain, grief, and trauma. As a child, I witnessed and experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. As an adult, I had a stillborn daughter and a miscarriage only months apart from one another. As a single mother, I deal with the pain of my first husband’s infidelity and how it tore our family apart. As a daughter, I dealt with the grief of my father’s untimely passing and wondered why God chose to carry him to heaven at the same time I was mourning my failed marriage.

Three Tips to No Longer See God Through the Lens of Your Pain

“God didn’t hurt you. People hurt you.” It’s a common quote that we have all heard in church at one point or another. Yet, somehow, even when we believe those words to be true, we still find ourselves with the lingering desire to blame someone for our pain.

More often than not, that ‘someone’ ends up being God. The problem with that mindset is that blame is a distraction that offers no real solution.

Why Does God Allow Pain?

Hey sis, In this blog, I’m going to deal with a common question that we have all asked God in the place of experiencing pain: Why does God allow pain? In our limited human understanding, it may not make sense why an all-powerful God doesn’t just stop all the pain we have to go through. At least, that’s how I felt when I went through one of the most painful periods of my life…
