So often I either denied my feelings or was not aware of them. I tried to avoid feelings because I did not want to feel pain. It was imperative that I came to see pain from a new perspective. Pain does not come from God. Feeling pain is part of my being human. Pain tells me I need to change something (maybe only my attitude). If a person did not feel pain from a physical illness, a doctor might not be seen, which could result in death. Pain is necessary.
If I am trying to avoid pain again, help me to remember that pain is not all negative. The fact is, there is no gain without pain.
Pain is inevitable - suffering is optional.
