REDEMPTIVE PAIN
"Having faced the personal misery and relational pain of doing things my way, having experienced the futility of living life to be noticed, and having carried the heavy burden of making pleasure my idol, I'm far more willing to pay the price for transformation. There's pain in either direction. I may as well embrace the pain that leads me to God instead of suffer the pain of being drawn away from him. So I hope you'll take these words as an encouragement. Pain in this world is a foregone conclusion. The only question is whether we choose to live a life of redemptive pain or of self-destructive pain. I pray you'll choose redemptive pain."
- Gary Thomas, The Beautiful Fight: Surrendering to the Transforming Presence of God Every Day of Your Life
