1 Peter 4:14 If You Are Insulted Because Of The Name Of Christ, You Are Blessed, For The Spirit Of Glory And Of God Rests On You.

We hurt. The question we must always face is what do we do as a result of the hurt? Do we permit ourselves to be turned and twisted toward evil because we hurt? Do we permit ourselves to be so influenced by the evil of pain we let the pain take away our ability to choose? Do we let the pain take away our humanity? The obvious answer must be "no" to these questions. Instead of being turned and twisted by the evil of pain, we must fight back against the evil so, at a minimum, we are insulted because we call Christ our Lord and Savior. We must fight back against the evil of pain so someday soon we will be forever immersed in the glory of God in real time where time does not exist. Even in our pain, we are blessed now and forever by having accepted Christ as Lord.
