When Your Pain Won’t Stop

One thing has proven to be true the past 8 years of my life. My health will never be the same this side of Heaven. I do about everything a human can to improve my health condition. However, permanent nerve damage throughout my body makes everything difficult.

I absolutely hate admitting this fact. However, I’m having to swallow this painful reality everyday of my life. My condition affects me morning, day, and night. If only I didn’t have to live inside this body my life would be so much easier.

I know there are so many others who can relate to my pain. You think to yourself “if only I didn’t have to deal with such life altering pain.” You feel those around you are tired of hearing about your struggle. I know firsthand you’re just trying to process the raging pain within you.

I’ve learned to realize that pain is an ongoing part of this life. You can’t run from it, once it runs you down. There’s no need to hide it from those around you. Pain is a universal language that comes in many different forms.

Praise God our pain will be no more once we get to Heaven. Thanks to Jesus it won’t be like this for long. Until then we must keep walking by faith. We must keep trusting God’s purpose for all our pain. Our greatest pain is often God’s greatest platform.

(One day) “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” (Revelation 21:4)
