Pain you suffer for CHRIST is not meant for your Destruction but Construction, to bring the Best out of You, for your Eternity in Heaven [1 Timothy 6.12-14]. Beloved, in PAIN: WE Seek/Realize GOD/TRUTH, we: Listen, Learn, Change to: Perform, Produce, Achieve great things whereas in PLEASURE, we become: Deaf, Dumb, Blind; Losing our: Image, Savings, Dignity and Destiny [2 Samuel 16.12], [Psalms 119.71]. FYI, Enviable Worldly: Positions, Possessions, Power are DECEPTIONS in Disguise, which will drain all your Time and Talents, leaving you with NO Time, Strength,. or Energy for: GOD, Family, Friends and Saving Souls [1 Timothy 6.-11]. That's why JESUS/BIBLE says we cannot Serve two Masters [Matthew 6.24]; What is highly esteemed in men's sight is an Abomination to GOD [Luke 16.15]; Friendship with world is Enmity with GOD [James 4.4]. Truth. Wisdom. Choice. Share.
