“Price of Pain” Blog #83
It is possible to capture the dilemma of a painful moment, and learn a powerful lesson!
In pain, do I allow myself to search deep inside me?
Can I understand what purpose there is in pain?
Do I seek to learn more from pleasure or my pain?
Time after time we hear someone say; “its just too painful to relive that again”, or the
comment, “the painstaking truth is this…”
Where and when we derive pleasure, can be so fleeting. It can come from another
person, a funny movie, a drink - more drinks. How in all my pleasure and my pain, do I
discern and purposely choose to develop a “sense of true self?”
Every day as life goes by, the stakes get higher and the years go faster and choices
become harder. In all these situations, not many of us are using a “spiritual roadmap”
to direct our way. It is critical to construct an inner sense of self. This is how we find out
who we are inside! Otherwise there are no inner resources to fall back on.
in Painful times we remain empty!
So in painful moments, many of us choose to use pills to dull the pain, dull the senses.
So many people we speak to over the years complain, “I don’t know why this ever
happened to me?” “Why DID this painful event get dropped on me?” “Why do I have to go
through all this pain and misery anyway?”
MAYBE I AM SUPPOSE TO BE LEARNING A POWERFUL LESSON ABOUT MYSELF!
So often we become pressured into believing the ideas and viewpoints of other negative
attitudes over our own inner guidance!’’ One minute we are happy with one person and
the next minute, sad with someone else. More painful interactions with family members
and the list goes on like a roller coaster. Year after year after year. I consider this to be a
“false sense of self”. For inside my core I am suppose to be -
“So strong that nothing can disrupt my peace of mind”.
So what’s happening out there? Can we accept this, “My body IS the temple of God.
It is only then that the painful process of maturing can be less painful.”
My living, is all about ME learning all about Me, learning my lessons and helping others.
Just because a person ages does not mean that they mature. ONLY IF we are gaining
spiritual understanding each day that we live, can we become wiser and handle reality
around us in a healthy way. Therefore, I choose NOT to lie, I want to rid my life of
resentment and anger and my painful past memories. So here is a great idea, I start a
Daily Journal all about my feelings and I keep track of my anger, resentment and fear.
Then at the end of the year, I see how I have matured and burn the journal! My attitude
will determine my outcome.
NEW RULES for MYSELF:
No matter the pain - I address it and do the right thing.
I will live in Truth only.
I accept the painful process of MY LIFE and let go of darkness!
Did you know: ‘IN LIFE YOU WILL BE AS HAPPY AS YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE”?
YET, life comes at us unrelentlessly. Life comes Down to just so many hours in the day.
Think about this, there are 4400 weeks in a lifetime of 85 years. I am now determined to
make each day count.
I serve My Lord Jesus Christ. For He resides in me, HE rescued me and I am safe.
Can I accept the price of pain HE paid for me and open my heart to HIM today?
