Sacred Affliction Ryan David

When faced with sorrow and suffering, have you ever asked the question, "Why me?" What would it mean to actually find an answer? What if the question were changed from a random rant of fist-shaking at the heavens to a purposeful inquiry into the mind of God? If so, you would discover a God whose presence and purpose are enough to endure any affliction. Why you? Because God is pursuing an intimate relationship with you. Because God can use your hard challenges to develop your holy character. Because greater holiness means greater intimacy with God. Afflictions are not wanted, but when offered to God for his divine purpose, they are never wasted. When life becomes hard, we can choose to be holy. Holiness develops through the day-by-day and moment-by-moment decisions we make to follow God. Sacred Affliction will encourage you to center your life on what matters most-God and His Kingdom. It will you direct you towards knowing God's presence and trusting his purpose! Why you? Let's ask God.
