Praising God in the Pain that I am in.

For weeks now I have had pain in my right arm, but I still praise God. I praise Him because I know that by His stripes I am healed, and that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. He took all of my pain upon Himself when he carried the cross on His back that was really meant for me. He has brought me through so many things in my life, it would take a life time to tell it all. Although I hurt the way that I do, He still gives me rest to sleep in peace. The pain that I am going through is nothing compared to the pain that HE went through for us all. Yes, pain is very uncomfortable, but in that pain, He gives me strength to do the things that I need to do.

One thing I need to do is keep my focus on Jesus and not the pain that I am going through. As long as I focus on Him, everything else is just shadows in the light of Him. Pain has to flee and other things too. Every kind of sickness, disease, and ailment has to bow down to the name of Jesus and flee. We were not created to be in pain all of the time. How can we enjoy life if we are always hurting? I tell myself that HE will take the pain away.

I know that I could have never endured the pain for all of those years had it not been for Jesus giving me the strength to do so, and even now. I praise Him for all that He has done for me all of my life, all that He is doing now, and for all that HE is going to do in my life in the future. Some days may be harder than others, but I know who is still on the throne, and that is God.

Well, in your spare time, or just anytime, spend some time with God and tell Him how thankful you are for always taking away your pain. May God bless everyone. Amen!
