I read something interesting today on Facebook. A friend of mine posted that she wanted the pain in her heart to ebb away. To be gone as if it wasn't there. Then I gave it a thought.
What if pain didn't exist? Why did God even created pain? Why were there even pain receptors in our bodies when we would suffer so much from it?
Wouldn't it be better if we could just fall down, wipe away the blood and walk on, as if there was no pain? Or accidentally sipped hot coffee, burning our tongue, but continued drinking because we wouldn't feel the scalding burn.
What a world it would be if pain did not exist.
The truth is. Pain is real. And it's one of the most important thing to us, to keep our flesh living.
Without pain, how would we know if our body is hurt beyond repair? We would go on with our lives and one day we would die without knowing that our body is wearing off, without pain. When we hurt ourselves, we don't treat it, because we're not suffering from pain. Due to that, our wounds get worst, it gets deeper, and one day we'll only be an inch away from death.
Without pain, we would not have known how much Jesus has suffered through His crucifixion. The pain would all be unreal and He would have died peacefully, for nothing. It would not be God's nature. He wouldn't have been able to touch our lives and save us from our sins.
How great is the word 'pain'. It seems like an enemy most of the time, but it measures a whole lot of love behind it.
Why did God give us pain? Because he loves us.
The pain tells us, "Hey you're hurt. You should do something about that wound."
The pain tells us, "This is too much. You should stop hurting yourself before it's too late."
The pain tells us, "My child. I love you. And I would go through all this pain and suffering, just to die for your sins, so you can be saved"
The amazing pain. The real love.
Pain is not our enemy. It is a gift from God.
