What You Gain From What You Lose - #6199
What senses does God want to deepen through your pain? Incredible qualities like radar for the deep needs behind people's deeds. A sense of compassion, which literally means the ability to "feel with" someone. God can use your pain to cultivate a wonderful tenderness in your heart and your responses. People who have been through the valley with Jesus emerge with an amazing ability to care, to wait, and to trust God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - A Clean Slate For a New Year - #8175 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’ve been involved with a lot of families, hurting couples, hurting parents, hurting kids, hurting relationships over the years. So many marriages could have been saved, so many kids could have been saved, so many relationships, so many churches if someone could have just said those words, “I was wrong.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hurting and Helpless - #8105
I got to thinking of times when I’ve been hurting and it was getting darker and I couldn’t help myself and a life that matters seemed like mission impossible. All I could do was yell, “Help!” and without exception God has come when I did.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Surprise in the Storm - #8087
The storm that looked like it was going to destroy them actually made them stronger.” Oh wait. That’s not just trees—that’s us. The Bible says, “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us” (Romans 5:3-5).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Starting Over - #8090
Now most of us would not go to those kind of extremes, but some of us do know the feeling of wishing we could start over, get that fresh start, move from a life that’s unfulfilling to a life that matters. Millions of us have discovered where new beginnings can be found.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Thunderhugs - #4443
We all need them, don't we? Especially at times when the storm is picking up and our security is shaking. I for one am deeply grateful we have in our God a Heavenly Father we can always run to and say, "It's time for a thunderhug!" And He has wonderfully promised that He is "our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble. Therefore, we will not fear..." (Psalm 46:1-2). That's why David could say when he was a fugitive for his life, "I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears." (Psalm 34:4).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Charlie Brown Christmas Miracle - #4422
It's amazing how a broken tree can become special with some tender, loving care. Or, more importantly, a broken person. With all the joy of the Christmas season, it can also be a time that reopens a lot of old wounds - a time that intensifies your loneliness and highlights the broken parts of your life.
