There's a moment in every struggle when you have to choose which direction to look. You can keep staring at your own pain, asking "Why me?" and feeling sorry for yourself.

Pain has a way of making us feel completely alone. When you're hurting, it can feel like nobody understands what you're going through.

But here's what changes everything: God doesn't just see your pain from a distance.

When God steps into your hardest moments, He doesn't just patch you up and send you on your way. He rebuilds you from the inside out with a new purpose.

God designed His entire system to prevent us from taking credit. We need to UNLEARN our desire to boast. This short verse is the ultimate purpose behind everything Paul just explained. God chooses the weak, the foolish, and the nobodies for one simple reason.

“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” Luke 9:1-2…
