From Pain to Gain

What I Know Now

When we've gone through the fire and when we've gone through the storms, although the pain still grips us and still lingers, we must be happy and we must be healthy. Those are the ways we will be able to help people see the light. Those are the ways we will be able to reach and teach people. Those are the ways we will be able to help people. That's our mission and it looks different for all of us based on our pain.

Our pain is for everyone else's gain. 

Our pain is not for us to wallow in self-defeat, be depressed, or feel sorry for ourselves. Who will those things help? Take that pain and run with it. God's got you. He always had you.

My mission (because I have decided to accept it), is to let people know that since God brought you through it, He did it for a purpose bigger than you. My pain is deep yall and I also hurt for other people now more than ever. I want hurting people to know that God allows "bad" things in order to teach us great things. Then we can take those great things to teach and help others. It's like dominoes with people falling forward.

God is not mad at you for bad decisions and He is not a God of punishment, because that would contradict His dying on the cross for us. He took our punishment already, so now we don't have to suffer anymore. He stood in the gap for us already. Now we are covered by His grace. That's right, those mistakes we made, guess what? They weren't made to harm us. Why? Because God already knew about them before they even happened, yet He allowed them. Why? Because He wants greatness to come out of us. Why? Because people will listen to us. Why? Because we are now the experts, the pros, the champions. Why? Because all that hell we went through, God wants us to teach and help others. And He wouldn't give such an important mission to a novice, an amateur, a wimp. He only wants the best to do His business. And if He brought you through it, get ready.

 Accept your mission. 

So, in a nutshell? God is a loving God. He is a strategic God. And He's God all by Himself. Respect that. And know this: He is never wrong and that evil that was meant for your harm, watch what God will do with that.

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa...

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
