I've asked God continually, why is ALL this happening to me? He was silent, so I searched the every corner, the attic heights and the basement depths of my very own heart. I did find a few spider webs, and some areas that needed some heavy cleaning, but no mold nor construction work needed.
So, I asked Job for his advice and he told me not to waste my time trying to figure out Yahweh's ways, with my puny pea brain of earthly perspectives.
I asked Isaiah and he told me to take a good L👀K in the 55th chapter of his book, which says that God's thoughts and ways are much higher than ours.
I asked Moses and he said it's all about the Israelite tongue and threats that became his test to see if he would listen to God clearly under pressure and obey Him quickly.
Peter told me it's about Not judging life as it appears. Because sometimes you will think you're doing the right thing by whipping out your sword to protect what you dearly love. But then there are times your protection is working against God's plans to crucify what you are trying to protect.
Joseph told me that Betrayal's appear to demote you, but it's pain is your Gain when it's in God's hands to fulfill His Divine plan to promote you, for a purpose that is much bigger than just little ole you.
Paul and Silas pointed me to Acts 16 and told me that my pain is for God's glory and gain, Not my Shame or blame. Paul told me from his book in Ephesians 5:18 to Not be drunk on the wine of overthinking things, because those fermented thoughts will make you stagger into negativity and depression.
So Paul continued "Pain is Gain" because when you are weak, when all your strengths are out of God's way, you depend on God much more, and when you are weak, God's strength and supernatural ability has room to be revealed in and through you, (2 Cor. 12:7-10).
Paul told me that in Acts 16 of his story for God's glory, that he and Silas were beaten bloody with rods for preaching where God specifically sent them. But that painful persecution and Jail arrest, was the only way to reach that one significant, influential Prison Guard with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul and Silas' Pain became God's Kingdom gain of increase of many lives, through that one man.
Life doesn't make sense when your Life is in pain. But Romans 8 says that everything will turn out Great according to God's definition of perspective, when you trust in Him with all your heart (Prov. 3:5,6).
