Now I reserve my fears for healthy things to be afraid of like:
- God
- Living a reckless life
- Sleeping under the rain..lol....
Sometimes I find myself thinking about pains...
- Physical Pain
- Emotional Pain
- Pain of watching a dream not come to reality
- Pain of rejection
- Pain of failure
...any type of pain you can think of and I pause sometimes and think that it’s unfair. I'm a sweet girl. I do right by people. I love and give selflessly...I don’t discriminate. I do right by man and I fulfill my moral obligations. So why do something’s not add up. Why do I have to suffer some form of pain or the other?
At those times I remember that God doesn’t give us what we cannot bear... I remember his words in II Corinthians 12:9: And He said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Meaning I can take it...meaning we are strong enough to bear it. And I know it’s okay...knowing that humbles me and I know it’s going to be okay.
The thing is one day we will trade our pains for gains...but for now its okay to embrace pain. Pain could either be your friend or your enemy...so why not make it your friend, hold it close...allow it teach you, learn the lessons it brings...allow it humble you so that you will never forget He who saw you through and made His grace available to you. So that you wouldn’t say '' I worked hard for what I have today''...instead you will say '' If it had not been for the Lord by my side...''
Your pain has made you what you are today, don’t resent it, don’t blame God, don’t be embarrassed by it, and don’t feel bad when people reject you for it. Embrace your pain and allow it teach you. Then wait, watch and you will see.
