Spiritual Pain

Life is full of challenges and even as Christians, we are not strangers to pain and suffering. The stories in the Bible have shown us that even favored kings like David and Solomon had their share of ordeals. The apostle, Paul, had to walk a lonely and hardship-filled road on his way to greatness. Job, a person worthy of admiration, went through sickness and almost loses the fight for his faith.

Life be Life-ing! While adversity, losses and setbacks are unavoidable in this human experience, Take This L is a profoundly brilliant reminder to anyone at any stage of life experiencing an L that it's just a season, and this, too, shall pass. Through vivid testimonial storytelling, the author helps the listener understand how a new generation is able to find balance between the fragility naturally brought on by L's and the resilience eventually gained in coping with adversity and loss.

In The Building Blocks of Pain, Apostle Hubbard goes in-depth to help the believer understand how God uses the pain in our lives to prepare for his work. As he deals with the harsh reality that everyone does not understand our pain, but yet we try to make them understand something that was tailor-made for us based on our own individual walk in Christ. This is most definitely an eye-opener as well as a powerful tool of revelation for those who are trying to make sense of the pain they are enduring in their Christian life.

So you see, you don’t just come to God through the name of Jesus Christ; but you come to God through the wounds of Jesus, and through the beatings and death that He suffered.

“Why me?” is the cry I hear most often in my work as a hospice chaplain. I’m not a theologian, but through my encounters with people who are elderly, disabled, dying, and bereaved - and through my own quest for peace - Jesus’ teachings known as the Beatitudes have become essential. They describe the attributes of God’s people: God is with those who suffer, those beaten down by life and rejected by the world.

The apostle Peter described faith as "much more precious than gold that perishes". As gold passes through purifying fire, so Peter says a man's faith must be tried in order that it "might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:7). While we address the crises in our lives that try our faith, we rarely praise God the way Job did, and we rarely submit ourselves to the purifying fire as Peter suggests.
