Pain

In our world today, there are so many different pains. There is physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain and heart pain. Most pains come and go. Some are worse than others, some last longer than others, and some go away completely, and still some never go away.

The ones that often don't go away are from what I call heart pain. They are pain caused by those that are close to us, those who we love and trust. Often they do not even know they are causing pain and unfortunately sometimes they know they are causing the pain. For some unexplainable reason they seem to take joy in causing the pain, like it gives the control or payback for something that really no longer matters.

How do we deal with that pain? If you go to that person, they act like it was not on purpose, or they brush it off as "you should not feel that way" or "don't let it get to you" .

Some pain is so deep that although you want to let it go, you don't know how. For some people they can just just go on and ignore the pain and the person causing it, for others it becomes so overpowering they choose to take the life God gave them. In both cases, I feel sorry for them.

As I see it, either case does not have God in their life, so they handle it wrong or don't handle it at all.

If you have a family, and you have extended family through "in-laws" you have felt the pain of the heart. Those that are the closest to us are the ones that can hurt us the most. Why? Because we open our hearts to them. We open our lives; therefore, giving them the chance to hurt us. When (not if)... when it happens how will you handle it?

Jesus tells us to give it to him, place it at his feet and forgive it and them forget it. For me, personally, forgiving is not the problem, but forgetting is somewhat harder. Some will say that if I have not forgotten it, then I have not forgiven. I disagree with that, we can forgive them and with time forget it also. As long as we do not act or bring up the hurt or try to get revenge, then

with time we can forget.

We each have our own situations that we deal with on a daily basis, happiness, sadness, hurt, helping other and hopefully healing. I will make a deal with you if you are reading this:

I will pray for healing for your pain, and you pray for healing for my pains too.

Father of all Heaven and Earth,

May God heal the pains of all those that read this blog. May each heart be open to the love of God. That each person will be filled with the loving, forgiving and healing spirit that only the God of heaven can provide.

Amen
