pain

Pain is one of the innate attributes of human existence.
It is universal, ubiquitous, and often contagious.

It sometimes brings you back to the very foundation of you.
Or it completely disorientates you.

Everyone tries to avoid it, but everyone must face it.
Whether it is from broken promises, diseases, physical/emotional abuses, failures, mistakes, willful ignorance, or lack of consideration, people deplore over the existence of pain and beg for the empathy.

Countless poems were written.
and numerous songs were sung.
and many people tried to answer Why? Why do we suffer?

Something about pain that we just cannot simply dismiss as an unpleasant facet of life.
It is absolutely beautiful when the burden of pain is shared.
when it confirms the love and care that a person has received.
when it affirms the strength of soul and the power of love.
when it takes us to the deeper level of gratitude and spiritual maturity.
when it deepens our love for God and our love for his people.
when it magnifies the joy of our life.
when it glorifies the Lord.
