What is the purpose of pain?

Well in a literal sense, pain alerts us to a problem that needs to be fixed.

So, what of emotional pain? What is the point of that kind of pain?

What if it has the same purpose?  What if that is why we experience it?

Maybe we have work to do, we need to fix a problem.

In my experience if we have work to do there is a fixable outcome.

We through the power of the Holy Spirit can change something.

Maybe that is the purpose of the pain we suffer in the heart.

How many times do we dismiss it and just suffer?

See I have gone through many things, but not all things hurt in the same way or even hurt at all.

I always wondered why that is. It didn’t seem balanced nor did it make logical sense to me.

Now I see that if there is nothing more to be done, then it seems the pain dissipates.

Pain really is an excellent reminder that an action needs to occur.

What is this action? Well it would be up to the Spirit to lead you or me in exactly what needs to be done. Maybe it’s an act of kindness, maybe it is going to battle in prayer. The options are limitless. Nothing is impossible for God!!!

We must change how we perceive things and have God centered glasses on. I realize that I am here to serve Abba in obedience and power. Much work in the kingdom needs to be accomplished. The time is now.

Pain should not immobilize us, but mobilize us into healthy productive actions that can change the course of life for people, bringing fulfillment and life to all in our path. This can only occur by the power of the Holy Spirit leading us and using us.

The choice is up to us!!

It is time to stand out!! It’s time to make a difference!!
