There are many people who achieve great things in life, yet little do people know, the pain they live with from day to day, is intense. Pain of loss, pain of regret (yes some people still admit that there are things they regret), pain of experiences they've suffered in their lives. You may be asking how it is that they are able to function to such great heights if such intense pain lives inside them. Well, for starters, they are driven by their pain. They live with it to help others know that they too, can and will get through it. Their entire mission in life is to get others to see the greatness of God that can dwell inside them in spite of the pain. Their entire mission is to get through to people that God will comfort them always. They tuck their pain inside themselves in order to reach others and another person's joy brings them joy. They realize that if it were not for their pain, others wouldn't gain as much. They realize that somebody had to live it and somebody has to give it. They have accepted the mandate from God.
And with the Lord on their side, He gives them the strength and love to make it each and every day in order to help one more person know that whatever they're going through shall pass. He gives them the strength to tell another person that surely God is their help and He is the one who sustains them (Psalm 54:4).
That's what makes them get up in the morning. They see another and another that they can tell about the Lord's sustaining power and that He too, will sustain them forever and ever.
Amen.
