Pain

We go out in the street and meet beggars who can not have a square meal daily. We hear about our friends and loved ones - down with cancer, hepatitis or aids. And when we turned on the TV and radios, what we see and hear in the news are mainly about sufferings, accidents, bomb blasts, hurricanes and other disasters. Pain pain pain..will it ever stop ? A mother died and she happened to be a 'single parent'..a child died and he happened to be the only son of an elderly couple..what do all these meant ? Are they teaching us lessons ? Where is God when we cry ?? When we are in pain, we asked "why ?" but, God is always silent about pain..Does God feel our pain ? I think God does feel when we are in pain. Yes, he did cry when Lazarus died, didn't he ? Oh yes, he felt ! He cried in the Gesemani..and ASKED GOD THE FATHER to take away the cup..yes, he was in pain. He was in pain because of our sins. Right ? Say yes. Then when we are in pain, when we suffer, do we suffer from sicknesses because we did something wrong ? Is 'pain' a punishment from God ?

  1. Pain is not a punishment from God. I think its rather God's way of reminding us that there is a place where pain no longer exists, so we must feel as much pain as we can on earth before going there... because once we are there, we will never feel pain again, and may actually miss it.
