Pain is the fuel of passion – it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don’t normally possess. C.S. Lewis said, “Pain is God’s megaphone.” It is God’s way of arousing us from spiritual lethargy. Your problems are not punishment; they are wake-up calls from a loving God. God is not mad at you; He’s mad about you, and He will do whatever it takes to bring you back into fellowship with Him. But there is an easier way to reignite your passion for God: Start asking God to give it to you, and keep on asking until you have it. ~Rick Warren
