25-180 A Love Letter from God – I’m Not Wasting Your Pain

“He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction…” — 2 Corinthians 1:4 (ESV)

My beloved child,

I’ve seen every tear that fell in secret. I’ve heard every prayer spoken through clenched teeth and quiet groans. I’ve watched you endure moments you thought would break you completely—and I need you to know this: none of it has been wasted.

You may not understand why the pain came. You may never fully know why certain doors closed, why healing didn’t arrive the way you prayed, or why the silence lasted so long. But I do. And I am still writing your story.

What you thought was the end… was only the beginning of something deeper.

Every moment of suffering has shaped you, not just for survival—but for purpose. You now carry a depth that cannot be taught in classrooms. You carry compassion that only comes from walking through the fire.

I comforted you not just to make you feel better—but to equip you. To prepare you. To position you to speak life into others who feel like they’re drowning.

Your pain has become your ministry. Your scars—now sacred reminders—that I brought you through.

And though I didn’t cause every hardship, I have used every one of them to draw you closer, deeper, stronger.

Do not be ashamed of the season you came through. It has refined your voice, softened your heart, and anchored your soul in ways you don’t yet realize.

I’m not done with you. And I’m certainly not done using your story.

So keep walking. Keep testifying. Keep loving people with the same comfort I gave you.

I’m not wasting your pain.

I’m redeeming it.

— Forever Faithful,Your Father
