Pain

Pain forces us to pay attention. Whatever is creating it we cannot run from it. We have a choice at this point to numb the pain with drugs, sex, money or simple avoidance - or do we deal with it? If we acknowledge the pain we can learn what is causing it and fix it. If we numb it we are holding off the inevitable. Sooner or later we will be forced to deal with the pain. As with a tooth if we ignore the pain we run the risk of the tooth dying or becoming infected. The same is true of our soul and spirit. If we deny emotional or spiritual pain we are killing a part of ourselves. What is it that we fear that we are willing to continually deal with this pain? My challenge for you today is to acknowledge your pain in whatever shape or form and see what that pain is trying to tell you. Maybe if you listen to it you can find a way to make the pain go away........
