Pain Makes It Never Enough

Pastor's Web Site Find The Power

Here is the truth. Pain robs you. Pain cheats you. Pain takes away from your life. Because pain does what pain does, because pain robs, cheats, and takes away, you are always lacking.

As a result of the above, you can live in bitterness, hatred, revenge, or fuming anger. You can live in emotional poverty. You can live in spiritual poverty. However, with God on your side, you need never live in any kind of negative emotional or spiritual poverty.

Like me, you have pain, but in spite of the pain you can be an abundant person inside yourself. Even in your pain you can express love. Even in your pain, you can show others they are important. Even in your pain, you can give thanks for the painful life God has given you because your pain has opened your heart to His love.

I fully understand pain tears away at your ability to be grateful. However, there is one area where God shields all of us and that area is the ability to look up and say "thank you" to God for aspects of our life.

God is with you in your every response to pain. God answers every prayer you pray in response to your pain. Christ knows the depth of your darkness as no other person can know your darkness. Christ is with you forever. His love covers you every moment. So when you want more because life is never enough, grasp Christ's hand to touch infinity.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord place His healing hands upon you to give you comfort and peace.
