2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (NIV)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Today I was the guest speaker at our church's Generations Ministry gathering. Generations is the 55+ crowd in our church. I didn't preach. I didn't teach. I simply shared about the four most painful moments of my life. I shared my pain reluctantly. I shared how I believed God has helped me process my pain.  The reason I shared is so that it might help someone else as they process their pain with God.  I want God to use my story and my pain to encourage and comfort others who are struggling and experiencing pain.
