Different Road.....Same Pain

 
 
The definition of pain :physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury
Injury can be physical and emotional.
 
We all walk roads of pain at one time or another.
Whether it's our own road or one we are walking for someone we love and care for.
 
Each one is a different based on the circumstances and situations they are going through.
Some are self inflicted by their own choices...
And some are not.
There are roads of pain that come to be simply because someone we love is going through hell and back and we have chosen to walk it out with them.
We do so because we love them.....
We do so because we have conquered our own road of pain and know how to prevail.
 
I choose do so because of the unconditional love of my daddy God has given me my entire life, never leaving nor forsaking me.
 It is unconditional love is what will bring those I love through the pain, out of the shame and into a new season of peace.....
His peace.
 
 
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
 
 
Our daddy God will put those in our lives willing to walk our roads of pain with us.
Those who will encourage us to keep going....
To give us hope.....
To give us strength......
Those who will carry us when our steps become too heavy.
Others who experienced similar roads in life and know the journey to our destination.
Those who have no clue as to what we are going through but yet choose to stand for us because the love they have in their heart is bigger than the issues we face.
 
 
Our roads may be different in  the circumstances that surround our situations.
Some may be full of bumps while others my have many twists and turns.
Regardless how different our roads may be .......
Pain is pain  and the hurt is the same.
 
Our roads of pain may be in the form of rejection, loss of a loved one, a broken home, loneliness, old hurts and mistrust from childhood.
It may be physical pain from extended illness and injury. 
 
Regardless of where our pain stems from, it is up to us to allow God's grace into our lives.....
To trust in Him for complete healing.
 
 
Isaiah 41:10:
 "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right
 
It took me a very long time of living and wallowing  on my roads of pain to understand and see the true love of my daddy God.
I had to get to a place in my life where I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
A place that I really wanted to be happy and no longer hurt day in and day out.
I had to open my eyes and my heart to see the hands reaching out to walk, run and carry through my roads of pain.
 
If you are on a road of pain right now.....
Regardless if it is bumpy, twisty and full of turns....
Whether it is full of sand and grit and loaded with rocks for you to climb.....
I promise you, if you stretch forth your hand, your daddy God has a hand there to grab you.
There is healing in the pain.
 
Different road... Same pain

Romans 8:37-39: 
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Am I Ready Lord ??

I can speak of my past....... I feel safe in my present.......... But I am nervous for my future...... Excited and nervous wrapped into one. Am I ready Lord?? God's word tells us, He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love and sound mind. So why am I so nervous?  Maybe I am scared of myself..... ~Sheesh~ Scared I will maybe make the same choices again..... ~Yuck~ Scared the "old" me will resurface and the emotional baggage of my past will consume the me of today..... ~Lord No~ Fearful if I truly allow someone in, I will be rejected.... ~tears~ Or the choices I make will be just that, MY choices and not God's will for my life. ~Sweet Jesus~  My door of isolation has opened, I take my first few steps breathing in the new season that is upon me...... It is a sweet excitement..... Very sweet!  But as refreshing as it is, part of me wants to run back to the sheltered place I hav...
