If you've suffered in life, I'm sorry that has happened to you.

But let me say this, God can take all of the hurt in pain and use it to touch other people

and make us into the men and women he wants us to be.

It's been said that God doesn't waste our pain.

Coming up today, Pastor Greg Lawry points out God will care for you and use you.

God has a purpose for you.

Yes, you, a special purpose that is unique to you.

This is the day when the lost are found.

This is the day for a moment again.

Amazing grace comes with the stone.

But can you get away as you've seen it?

This is the day when life begins.

The world has a knack for attempting to put a happy face on some deep dark times of crisis.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Don't worry, be happy.

Look on the bright side.

But sometimes in earthquakes, so shakes our lives that there doesn't seem to be a bright side.

But don't mountains rise from earthquakes?

Today, on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Lawry helps us see how God can help us rise above our pain.
