ALIVE TO THE WORLD

 

God gave us pain to remind us we are alive, so we will learn to value the joys and beauty of the world.     Tom Corr

Whether it be physical or mental agony that we are going through, ‘Pain’ in itself is an attention seeker and demands our complete concentration on its alleviation. Every second of that pain seems to stretch for never-ending ages. In today’s world, it might be difficult to find someone who is completely free and devoid of physical or mental pain. We seem to live in pain constantly and also carry it around wherever we go.

Will we ever rid ourselves of this pain that wrecks our bodies and minds?

Even if we put forth an argument that most of the pain is what we bring upon ourselves, there is ‘ passive pain’ (pain that we are not responsible for) which many a time, we need to go through.

The only consolation we can harbor within us is the Life Lessons that it teaches us. Lessons of wisdom are hard to learn without experiencing pain and suffering.

But those who stay smiling and undefeated through all this are the truly blessed ones. Stay blessed, stay smiling

Revelation 21:4 of the Bible says:

…He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

To live in a place where there is no more death or sorrow or pain seems unbelievable. But Scriptures teach us of a yonder where there is only Joy and Happiness. Hope calls us to wait patiently. Wait for that day and place in Time when we will be freed of all bondage. Till then, let us make good use of all that we have experienced here

May we gain insights into the Truth and Wisdom of all ages.

 PRAYER:

To all the dear ones who are afflicted with pain of some sort or the other, read out this prayer with me and be healed.

Dear Lord, We bring all our aches and pains to You. For those that are going through physical pain, dull their pain with Your Power. For those that are  going through throbbing pain in their hearts and minds, release them from their bondage. Anoint each one with Your Healing and Strength. Let them ‘Be Healed’ right away and be restored back to Life. Fill us with your Joy and Hope that we will walk free of this pain one day. Guide us and Guard us, Lord. In Your Name. Amen.

God bless you with His Strength, Love and Healing Power.
