Persistent Pain

Greetings to all; this Friday, let us examine our actions and the inner pains that restrict us from moving on.

Because pain is a constant and persistent part of life, there is no getting around it, no matter how we try. We must not allow the pain caused by others or our inner pains to restrict us from doing and moving on.

Psalm 38:17–18 (MSG)

17 I'm on the edge of losing it— the pain in my gut keeps burning.

18 I'm ready to tell my story of failure; I'm no longer smug in my sin.

Lesson: Although pain hurts, we must not ignore it. Because God is with us in our pain, we are not alone in them. But, until we face our wrongdoings and the inner pain we carry, there will always be that persistent pain that we cannot forget.
