When I was little, I used to wake up in the middle of the night with the worst pains in my legs. I remember being up most of the night crying, while my mom would rub my legs to try to ease the ache. At the time, it seemed like the worst pain I had ever felt. But, after a while, these growing pains went away.....just a part of being an active, growing, athletic child.
Lately, I have been experiencing growing pains in my faith in Christ. I have found that being a believer is not always easy. There are difficult choices to be made. Lifestyle changes that must be chosen. When you are a growing, active member of Christ's church, you will experience pain. Pain caused by choices, lost relationships, and temptation. I find assurance knowing that the pain is only temporary and is a part of the journey to everlasting glory in heaven with my Savior.
Hebrews 2:18
"For because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted."
