Good morning…
She said, “Going into our pain is the only way out of our pain.”
Think about it. Pain killers. Sleeping pills. Drowning our sorrows with more stuff, more alcohol, more and more distractions. Our world shouts, “Avoid pain at all cost.” Our Spirit whispers, “What is the long term cost of avoidance?”
Pain holds our power. Pain holds our potential. Pain holds our healing in the palm of her hand. Going into life’s pain we sense the LORD with us. But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction, Job 36:15 (NIV). Notice? God delivers us IN our suffering. God speaks to us IN our affliction. IN our pain, what does the LORD say? IN our suffering, what is our God doing? “He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food,” Job 36:16 (NIV). In the ever presence of our Sustainer, we are wooed through our pain into spacious freedom, feasting daily upon the LORD’s comfort food.
This is my comfort in my affliction, That Your word has revived me and given me life, Psalm 119:50 (AMP),
