When we’ve ceased hearing or changing, we need a new environment.
The purpose exceeds the pain.
Picture God nudging you and me awake before dawn because He can hardly wait to be with us.
If you are not royalty, He is not King.
Whether we get to avoid pain and suffering or we must persevere in the midst of it, our deliverance comes when we're dragged from the enemy of our souls to the heart of God.
A bruised heart that chooses to beat with a passion for God amid pulsing pain and confusion may just be the most expensive offering placed on the divine altar.
