Redemptive Pattern

God is a redemptive God. He wants to use our mistakes and hardships. In fact He plans to use every pain for gain and a redeeming lesson for another. Keep in mind we aren't just going through something for our own benefit and lesson but for many others that are "traveling" our way and need our lifesaving advice and comfort. So when we feel the sentence of death in our hearts, remember it is only to help us not rely on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. (2 Cor. 1:9)

We are all preparing the way for Him to come more powerfully in our own lives and those we touch. We must believe that our boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places despite our discomfort and that surely we have a delightful inheritance! (Ps. 16:6)
