Pain

Pain……The very word denotes loss, sorrow, grief, suffering. Something should have been but isn’t. Something could have been but isn’t. And so there is pain. It is like a reminder that says don’t let go. In our sadness we grieve alone~ for who could understand? No one has ever felt this pain of ours. We long to isolate~ to shield our hearts~we can’t take anymore pain. Everyone is busy as they scurry by~ no healing words to comfort the pain. We would be in total despair……………But for GOD.He alone is close to the brokenhearted. Only He understands. The broken need only whisper, “I need You” and he is there.He is there loving, caring, comforting, healing, restoring~ as only He can. For no pain is too deep for His loving arms to reach. No pain is so insignificant that he would not care.He reassures the shielded heart, “I will never leave or forsake you.” His eyes tell you He knows your pain first hand. Because He never sleeps or slumbers you can rest secure that He will always have time for you, He will always see~ even the pain you never want to mention. Not only does He see your pain~ He also has the remedy. Only He can give beauty for ashes~ ashes so dead and cold. Only He can restore what was lost with His best. Only He can cause a sad heart to sing. And with a song hope again. To You, O LORD, I am grateful!
