Dear God, Thank You For The Pain

I thought that you wanted to hurt me. I thought that you wanted to break my heart into pieces. But little did I know, you slowly turned my life 180 degrees. It hurts inside, but you taught me how to face the deepest pain in my life. You taught me how to look back and deal with the bad memories I’ve experienced. And you never let me travel alone. You held my hands, and you give me enough strength. My broken past turned into a story of your faithfulness and love. As I walked through the process, you let me see your hands moving. You revealed to me the things that you did behind the scene. And because of that, I felt your love. I realized that you never leave my side.

Thank you for allowing me to experience those challenges. I am who I am right now because every problem I encounter taught me many things. The lessons that I learned became the foundation of my life. You changed my perspective. The process may not be that easy, but I will always choose to go through those experiences because it’s all worth it. I may not understand your ways, but you simply increased my faith. Being able to experience this life with you is more than enough, Lord. And the negative moments I’ve encountered led me closer to your heart.

Thank you for the pain. You taught me how to let go and let your love move. I experienced your miracle in the midst of brokenness, and those moments are truly amazing. I will never replace those memories with anything else. I will always choose to keep even the painful experiences because it all led me to embrace your love. Thank you so much for allowing me to grow. You’ve been so patient to me, Lord. You keep on loving me despite my sins and imperfections. Thank you for always being there for me.

Indeed, you turned my wounds into a blessing. You healed my heart, and you made me realize that you can do all things. I can’t imagine my life without you, Lord. I’m simply nothing without your love. Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for not leaving me behind even in times when I tend to forget you. Father God, you simply fill my heart with love that I can never contain. And because of the great things that you did, I can finally say that the pain I experienced before is all worth it.
