No pain, no gain.

Pain is inevitable and to live with it everyday is a part of our lives whether it is physical pain or emotional pain.  Sometimes it comes to us as a sacrifice in order for us to survive. Popping a pill would sometimes do the magic but definitely not the answer. Seeing other people suffer is another thing. This is a different kind of pain. We have to admit it that every time we pray we always include the removal of any pain from us and for others as well.

The problem we are facing right now is how to live with every excruciating second of it. Every second we groan in pain we have this feeling that we are alone. Wishing that at least some one would share this unwanted thing inside of us.

Sin which caused all these pain and sorrow is the main source. It should be the first to be dealt with. Adam should work in order to live. Eve has to go through with 9 months of sorrow and pain and ultimately bearing the pain of giving birth. This is why God sent His Son Jesus to rescue us from this ordeal. The unimaginable pain that no man can ever bear was imputed to Him. He tasted the pain that all of us are complaining about and yet He said, "Your will be done". 

To deal and dwell in pain is to enrich our spiritual lives. It drives us to cling to the promises of Jesus. It brings us down to our knees and rest on the comfort that Jesus gives. Yes, every second brings us unbearable pain but then again this pain brings us closer to Him who promised that He will take away this pain.

Scriptural readings: 

Matthew 11:28-30

v.28  Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

v.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

v.30  For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Heavenly Father, we are in pain, help us to bear this through your Son Jesus as we look forward to be a better child of yours. Comfort us with the warmth of your love. Let your Holy Spirit touch us and grant us the healing you have promised through your Son Jesus. We claim this healing in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen!
