521B: Testing – To Equip Us to Minister
Every test we pass through is for a purpose. Part of the purpose is to equip us to minister to those who are going through similar difficulties. Isn't it uncanny how God places in our lives those who are going through similar experiences that we have just had. It isn't surprising to God; He placed them there. Consider what message God is placing in your life through the tests He is bringing you through, then be available and sensitive to share that message with others, for He is equipping us to comfort those who are going through the same trouble, using the same comfort that we ourselves received of God.
