Pain hurts. Oh, how it stings! The foolishness of man over all these things. We grab for wants we do not need. Warnings to the contrary, we do not heed.
Hardship and loss bring pain to life. Selfishness causes one to live in strive. Following God closely will not eliminate the pain, But discipline means to teach and to train.
When in pain, we are tempted to doubt God's goodwill. Evil forces are at work to destroy and to kill. God's love is proven through the woodsheds of life. Ask for understanding as discipline cuts like a knife.
God remains deeply concerned about us Whether we are in the right seat or even on the bus. The next time pain comes and life is a zoo, Be patient and confident in God to show you what to do.
