"Pain"
Pain is a door to a dark, lonely and sometime very confusing room!! Please understand that pain comes with many faces, physical, mental, emotional, relational, spiritual and the list goes on.... In the room of pain, you have more questions than answers, more stares than hugs and sometime, more critics than friends. If you find yourself in the room of pain you will find out who really cares because unfortunately people can be shallow and don't want to be inconvenienced by you. In keeping with human nature, people don't generally like to be inconvenienced by someone else's problems. However the true followers of Christ will love you under any circumstances. Some take their blessing of a "pain free" life for granted. Pain is indeed a misery but it will give you several gifts, if you allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you during this time. You will soon stop criticizing others because you finally understand that you have no idea what they may be facing on any given day. Pain will begin to break your heart but God is very close to the broken hearted!! (Psalm 34:18) You enter into the "fellowship of His suffering" and it was through the suffering of Jesus that we were saved and can be healed!!! (Philippians 3:10) Time is but a small dot on God's eternal map and I'm believing that Jesus will bring healing to your body in the very next second. Will you agree and believe with me that we may be healed today? There is one thing I can promise you for sure that there is a pain free zone called Heaven, Come quickly, Lord Jesus!! A life of pain makes you unique or different and most people are afraid of something different because they don't understand it but God will send special people into your broken life that will love you anyway, they don't have to understand!!!
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be ANY MORE PAIN:for the former things are passed away."(Revelation 21:4)
