17. There’s pain either way... 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 of transformation. There’s pain in either direction, I may as well embrace the pain leads TO God instead of suffer the pain of being drawn AWAY from him. 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 There’s pain either way...
