Pain is Good!
Today at church our pastor spoke about how pain isn’t always a bad thing. It’s a God given response to something very wrong in our bodies. Without pain a person might not go to the doctor. They might not even know they’re sick until it’s too late!
It’s the same with God. Sometimes God can use pain (not cause it) in our lives to draw us closer to him. Think about the last time you really called out to God. Really sat at his feet, in his presence. What was your motivation?
Pain? Whether emotional or physical, pain draws us to God.
For me, it seems like the times I’m in the most pain are the times I reach out and feel God the most. I wish it weren’t so, but it’s also the time my spirit is open to allowing God to work in me.
How about you?
Without the pain we may not call on the Great Physician. Without the pain, there might not be healing! Are you ready to hurt a little?
