Kingdom-minded means there’s a purpose to your pain here and now that has implications for God’s kingdom. You may never know the answer to “Why?” in this lifetime, but two of the many possible purposes for your pain are to make you mature and complete (James 1:2-4), and to equip you to comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
