Leadership Pain with Sam Chand Day 1

Isaiah 43: 1-2
James 1:2-18
1 Peter 4:12-13

Growth = Pain

James 1:2-3 is all too familiar with me. We can actually profit from hurt, Church is made up of broken people so I will be disappointed inevitably. I think that those who disappoint/hurt me are even more rejoiced in my eyes when they repent than if they never did wrong. Since christianity is all about reconciled relationships, the knowledge of a fellow Christian brother or sister repenting in sincerity is more than any reason to celebrate. I can even rejoice in my suffering in the knowledge that God has placed me in this place according to a purpose.
