Having a daughter with paralysis, I understand
the blessing of pain. Without the ability to feel pain, both physical and
emotional, we would run headlong into destructive situations. The pain of guilt
is a classic example. We usually feel that something is wrong, because
something is wrong. We often feel bad, because we have been. When our hearts
feel those uncomfortable pangs, as with our feet or knees, it is important to
stop and check things out. In our fallen world pain serves as a warning sign, and
more often as a stop sign. The good news is, as with our coming resurrection,
there is a solution for our pain. God is willing to grant repentance,
forgiveness and restoration. And that right now. I know we don’t like
pain, but until our lives are glorified, we need the warning signal that pain
brings. Perhaps we should thank God, that for the time being we are afforded
the blessing of pain.
