Pain

Pain sucks.

It hurts, stings and like a knife seems like it's only going to sink deeper.  It wrings, writhes, it rips and it wants to stay.

And it sits bringing us to a point of crying, calling out, or maybe even screaming for it to leave. 

It's not fun-never fun.

This past weekend has been a heavy one in our church, full of plenty of hurt, too much pain. So what is there to do in the midst of it? That's a question that is always asked. How do I get over this? Is there ever a way to move past this?

To tell you the truth, I. DONT. KNOW. And I don't think I ever will. I don't think any of us ever will know exactly what to do. But I think that's okay. Sometimes the pain is too much to handle that we don't know what to do.

Our pain might remain. It may build and tears us up or may it grow or lessen. But it's not the only thing that will remain constant.

There is also the One True God.

You might not know what to do or where to go or how to react. You may not get an easy and clear answer of prayer with full understanding and guidelines of what to do but that's not the point. 

The point is that God is there. God will help you along the way. God will ease the pain. 

Remember this in your struggle and especially in your pain.

Because God never forgets about you in the midst of it.
