Random words of wisdom (The pain is only the beginning)

   
The pain is only the beginning!

   I know that no one wants to feel pain but sometimes the pain is only the beginning of your healing!! Don’t run from healing pain because if you don’t allow God to walk you through that pain then you will never be able to enjoy JOY!  The pain is only the beginning of your spiritual Resurrection!! The pain is only the beginning of your turn around!!  For the majority of us we don't run to God unless we are going through a lot of pain.  We tend to wait until the last minute to seek out the Lord.  It’s sad that we wait until we are on the ropes to turn to God but that is what most of us do so it is what it is. Let’s just focus on how to use your pain to find your joy!  I know that sounds crazy but true joy is just a step away from true pain.  The problem is we tend to take steps backwards and/or sideways when we are going through a hard time instead of stepping forward!  It is so easy to fall into the same ole same ole when that’s what your use to but learn to get use to something thing else. God is right there telling you to step forward but your lack of faith in God's word and the lack of faith in yourself prevents you from stepping out on faith. Instead you go back to the things that got you to this point in the first place because we know if we walk away we have to deal with the pain of leaving something or someone we love but stop looking backwards. That pain you may feel will be temporary but the joy you will feel in your soul through the healing process will grow each day and it is permanent!!   So many people allow pain to alter them instead of letting the JOY alter them.   How many times has God tried to get you out of your pain  filled situation?? How many outs has he given you?  If you look back and really pay attention we will see all the opportunities we had to learn from our pain and move forward in joy and we will see how many times we choose the wrong path. How many times have you caught your man cheating but yet you always take him back.  How many times has God blessed you with a job that you didn't appreciate because you didn't think it was good enough for you! How many times have you been able to get out of the street life but you would rather live that fast life in the streets, get that fast money, always watching your back instead of letting God lead you out of that life with a normal regular 9-5 job?.  You choose the fast money instead of the Godly money so you will live a fast life (literally) and a fast life usually ends in an early death or prison! How many times have you survived a beating from your abusive mate and God gave you a window to escape but you choose fear over faith!   How many times has GOD placed a mirror in front of you so you can see your pain and learn from it but instead we choose to avoid the true reflection in the mirror?  Stop running from your pain.. Face it, so you can change it and let that pain connect you to your JOY!   If you need to leave your mate because they are hurting you on a regular basis  then do it!! Yes it will hurt to leave someone you love but  that hurt is good hurt,. that’s that healing pain.  Just like your physical health if you have a illness you are down for a minute but once you get your medicine your body starts to heal.  It’s the same with your spirit.  If your spirit is sick then you have to get your "medicine" from God so you can start to heal. That pain will lead you out of the darkness and into the light. Because once you make the choice to follow God and walk away from hurt God will hold you up through the pain and show you the Joy that you deserve.  The pain is only the beginning of the happiness!!
