Sorrow needs a place to rest

I write a lot about pain. I never planned to until I started doing it. I get messages and feedback from men and women alike saying thank you, somebody had to do it. Well no one did, but I do. It helps me and I now believe it helps others. Experiencing pain is a universal truth. Everyone does and everyone will. I invite pain in. I do this by making myself available to others to sit with them as they try to regain their footing. A group of my girlfriends tell me I must slow down. What they say is when you take on somebody else's story it becomes a part of you. They say I must look for ways to be a conduit but also be able to leave other's stories at the altar of prayer. Don't let their stories stay with me. I get that. It is the energy in those stories that get in you and changes you. So I look for ways to turn over pain to God. Through dealing with my own lifetime pain, I am getting better at this. Placing pain at the altar and leaving it there.

Thanks be to God, pain in temporary. Romans 8:18 ESV / For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Pain you see is a precursor to glory. Pain is not made to stick around.

Peter 4:12-13 ESV /Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Pain is a test of our faith.


Proverbs 20:30 ESV / Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.
Pain is a cleanser.


James 5:14-16 ESV / Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
Pain sticks around to see how we treat one another

So now I know. Pain is part of each of us. At any given time we are either personally experiencing pain or we are helping others deal with their pain. Sometimes we are doing both.

The truth is this, pain needs a place to rest. It is within each of us to do our part in making sure it rests without payment.

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
