The Joy Before Childbirth
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★THE REASON a woman can endure the pain of childbirth is
because something good is coming down the pipe. She can
endure because the pain will be worth it in the end as she
celebrates the new birth of her child. She bears the suffering
because of the joy before her. It is in weakness that God does
His greatest birthing.
The point
A woman endures childbirth pain because of anticipated joy; believers can endure suffering because God produces spiritual growth.
