Perhaps the transformation of a place of suffering into a place of spiritual transformation results from the sufferer's surrender of the moment or the event or the experience to God as an offering. It becomes a type of Calvary; it is joined with Christ on Calvary. It is offered as a sacrifice, albeit a miniscule sacrifice (as compared with that of God). But like the death of Jesus, a life is willingly entrusted to God's good purposes.
Yahweh promised his people a future full of hope. (Jeremiah 31).
By God's grace one is united with Jesus. That is a holy place.
