HEBREWS 13:5 LET YOUR CONVERSATION BE WITHOUT COVETOUSNESS; AND BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YE HAVE: FOR HE HATH SAID, I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. AS WE GROAN IN OUR PRESENT PAIN AND SUFFERING, WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING NEW BODIES WHEN CHRIST COMES BACK TO EARTH. IF WE SEE HIM FACE TO FACE IN HEAVEN BEFORE HIS RETURN TO EARTH, WE WILL STILL SEE HIM WITH NEW, PAIN-FREE BODIES. O HAPPY DAY! O HAPPY DAY! AS WE GROW IN THE WISDOM OF HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US AS HE CONTINUALLY POURS HIS BLESSINGS OVER US, EVEN IN OUR PAIN IN OUR DARKEST HOUR, OUR UPWARD SOARING ADORATION CAN BECOME OUR EVERYDAY REALITY. WE MUST NOT BE DELUDED BY THE EVIL ONE INTO THINKING GOD'S LOVE AND BLESSINGS ARE NOT REAL OR NOT A PART OF OUR LIFE. WE MUST REAFFIRM EACH HOUR HOW GOD CONTINUALLY BLESSES US, EVEN IN OUR PAIN AND DARKNESS. SUFFERING AND PAIN CAN CAUSE US TO LOSE FAITH. IN OUR PAIN, DOUBTS CREEP IN. WE CAN BEGIN TO BELIEVE THERE IS NO GOD BECAUSE PAIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD. HOWEVER, AS WE LOSE FAITH, BECAUSE CHRIST LOVES US IN WAYS UNCOUNTABLE, HE GIVES US HEALING ASSURANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DOUBTS CAUSED BY OUR SUFFERING. AS WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PUSH OUR PAIN AND SUFFERING ASIDE SO WE CAN MAKE ROOM FOR HIS LOVE IN OUR HEART, HE WILL FILL UP OUR EMPTINESS. AS HE FILLS UP OUR EMPTINESS, WE WILL EXPERIENCE HIS HEALING POWER IN OUR HEART AND SOUL. AS WE WALK IN HIS LOVE, HIS LOVE PRESENTS TO US A FORM OF INSULATION FROM THE DARKNESS AND PAIN OF THE WORLD. HE WILL NOT LEAVE US AS ORPHANS, IN OUR PAIN, OR OUT OF OUR PAIN. HE WILL NOT LEAVE US AS ORPHANS BECAUSE HE LOVES US. IN DEALING WITH OUR PAIN AND SUFFERING, WE MUST ALWAYS CONSIDER CHRIST'S SUFFERING UPON THE CROSS. AS YOU SURVEY AND TAKE IN CHRIST'S SUFFERING UPON THE CROSS, YOUR ISSUES ARE DIMINISHED AND YOU THEN BECOME A VICTOR OVER YOUR ISSUES. GOD'S WILL IS ALWAYS TO SEE YOU LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE, IN SPITE OF ALL OBSTACLES, ODDS, MISFORTUNES, PAINS, AND SUFFERING. YOUR JOB, AS ONE OF CHRIST'S OWN, IS SEE TO IT YOU GIVE 110 PER CENT EFFORT TO DELIVER FOR CHRIST WHAT CHRIST WILLS FROM YOU.



As we groan in our present pain and suffering, we can look forward to getting new bodies when Christ comes back to earth. If we see Him face to face in heaven before His return to earth, we will still see Him with new, pain-free bodies. O happy day! O happy day!
As we grow in the wisdom of how much God loves us as He continually pours His blessings over us, even in our pain in our darkest hour, our upward soaring adoration can become our everyday reality. We must not be deluded by the evil one into thinking God's love and blessings are not real or not a part of our life. We must reaffirm each hour how God continually blesses us, even in our pain and darkness.

Suffering and pain can cause us to lose faith. In our pain, doubts creep in. We can begin to believe there is no God because pain separates us from God. However, as we lose faith, because Christ loves us in ways uncountable, He gives us healing assurance in the middle of our doubts caused by our suffering.

As we make every effort to push our pain and suffering aside so we can make room for His love in our heart, He will fill up our emptiness. As He fills up our emptiness, we will experience His healing power in our heart and soul.

As we walk in His love, His love presents to us a form of insulation from the darkness and pain of the world. He will not leave us as orphans, in our pain, or out of our pain. He will not leave us as orphans because He loves us.

In dealing with our pain and suffering, we must always consider Christ's suffering upon the cross. As you survey and take in Christ's suffering upon the cross, your issues are diminished and you then become a victor over your issues. God's will is always to see you live a victorious life, in spite of all obstacles, odds, misfortunes, pains, and suffering. Your job, as one of Christ's own, is see to it you give 110 per cent effort to deliver for Christ what Christ wills from you.
