A WAY OF FINDING OUR PURPOSE
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:18 NIV)
Who can best understand and help someone who has lost a child? Another person who has lost a child.
Who can best help someone who suffers from alcoholism or the family that suffers because of it? Another person who has lived through the impacts and destruction of alcohol and has now surpassed it.
When we ourselves have gone through certain struggles, we can help others who go through the same situation.
Let’s not waste our hurt and pain, and not stay defeated like defenseless victims. We should develop compassion for others, take advantage of the experience, and use it to find our purpose on this earth. Let’s channel our negative experiences toward a successful future where we can help a society that needs so much.
The Bible says that Jesus went through some pain that we live with today. He understands us and can help us.
Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. (Hebrews 2:18 NLT)
Think about it:
What suffering have you been through in the past?
Do you know people who are going through the same thing you went through?
In what way do you think you can help others move past it?
