When we are afflicted or suffering with pain what course of action do we choose? Do we give in to self-pity, bitterness, fear, or envy? Our true character or our faith are revealed in the storms of life. When suffering, don't get sucked down into yourself - turn outward. Reach out to God and help other in need. "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever." Run your race with courage and victory will be yours in the end.
