Topic: See Beyond The Pain

Human beings can have every kind of pain imaginable. As a species, we have physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. Pain is the great weapon of the darkness to stop us in our tracks. Pain also puts blinders on us. Long-term emotional or physical pain grinds us down and kills our hope and promise for the future. When our hope and promise are gone, the effects of our pain increase, We are then caught up in a never-ending cycle of assuaging the pain and grasping at the straws of hope we seem to have lost. What we must try to remember when we suffer is to try and see beyond the pain. When we see beyond our present pain, our vision of a better day and a better future help us manage the moment. What pain does to us is take away our future because the pain makes us focus intently upon the present. Thus, when we are in pain we have no future, and for most of us, when we have no future, we have no life. However, in all the tough times of life, God does give us the ability to look up, to see, and to envision a better day as we embrace His hope and His promise.
