PAIN

  Today is another day of accepting God's will for my day.  Does
this sound familiar?  We make a choice to let God be in charge
or not.  There is no debate!  We answer yes or no.  I say it is 
best for me to allow Him to lead and I am a thankful follower.

   Once a decision is made, to be in charge or let God be in charge,
it changes everything.  For me, there is no wondering why this or
that happened.  I don't waste the energy I still have thinking about
the "what ifs" of life.  All I have to do is be attentive to what God
wants me to do and do it.  I don't need a doctorate to follow Him.
He knows everything about me and all that is happening in my
life.  What a relief!  I can just do one thing,,,what He wants me
to do.  

   So, in my life, there are lots of opportunities to live above the
circumstances of physical pain and emotional trauma.  Every
time a "hard" day happens, it is another learning experience
from the Greatest Teacher anyone ever has.  Because He 
created me, He knows me inside out.  He knows what needs
to change and goes about lovingly drawing me to a mature 
life close to Him.

   Life on sinful earth is not supposed to be a party.  It is hard
and it was harder for Him.  I cannot wake up each morning
expecting things to go as planned.  In fact, it is best to have
a very loose plan so He can do what needs to be done.  If
I am so enthralled with my plans I will miss what He has
in store for me.  There are people that He wants me to
touch and I cannot do it without Him leading me.  Every
woman deals with hardship every day.  He is our only
Joy and Peace.  It is all worth it!!!!

As I sit with an ice pack or a heating pad on my back, I
thank Him for the rest.  He knows that I will not stay down
unless He does it for me.  I would already be worn out if
not for Him.  He takes better care of me than I would do.
He does this for all of His children.   Pain is a part of what
we will leave behind when we go to Heaven.  That is my
focus on Painful days.  He is with me and you.
