A few weeks ago, in our Healing Through Faith session, we talked about "Serving In Our Brokenness", how we, as people who have experienced trauma and suffering in our lives, are better equipped and prepared to help our Brothers and Sisters as work through their own trauma and suffering. In this segment from Renewing Your Mind, Dr. R.C. Sproul describes how he was able to walk through trauma and suffering in his own family with God's help, and been able to help others in their journey through trauma and suffering. God is not disinterested in what happens to us, He is the thick of it with us.

Good post. One of the reasons I am so effective as a grief and loss counselor is because I have walked that path personally

That will always be the case Lt Col Charlie Brown, because our own trauma gives us an instant-connection to the one who is suffering. We lost Will, an Army combat Veteran, to suicide in October 2017, and when I went to his funeral, I was able to connect with his widow like few others could, because I had lost my wife to suicide twenty years earlier.
Recently, one of the couples in my church lost their son to a sudden illness, and I was able to connect with them because I had lost my middle daughter to cancer last year. Our own trauma prepares us as no class or textbook ever could. Pat-answers never work, but heartfelt connection does.
