I would be dishonest if I told you
I enjoyed affliction , discomfort ,
Brokenness , physical pain
Or emotional heartache .
I have weathered several
Of these seasons
And I can tell you
That at the time I found
None of it to be enjoyable .
But it is endurable .
They say pain is unavoidable ,
Suffering is optional
So what is the difference ?
I believe that suffering is different
Because it involves resistance
To pain and attachments to outcomes .
In times of affliction ,
We can resist or we can accept and allow .
Without allowing abusive
Situation to continue of course .
When we cooperate with God
And commit to learning
Every possible lesson
That pain can teach us ,
We are forever changed ,
Looking back on the experience ,
We marvel at how far God has carried us
And at everything we gain
In our perceived loss
God refines us in the fire
So let Him .
I Love You All
