PAIN is NOT a lifestyle

I saw this sign in the window of a dentist, and it jumped out at me. I got to thinking and surfing the internet to see what G-d wanted you to know. Some of us live with pain for so long that it just becomes a way of life; we not only accepted pain but swallowed the lie of ‘that is just the way it is.’
What is the source of our pain and suffering? We tend to view pain and suffering as negative things, bodily pain is a positive thing for it warns us that something is wrong. Fear naturally creates resistance when we become afraid, we tend to close off, and we shut down. And when we close off to life we inevitably create pain for ourselves. A tight muscle will hurt, a relaxed one will not.
So, pain is a part, and one might argue a vital and essential part, of life because it warns us about the places where we are constricted, where we close off to the truth, where we are out of harmony of G-d’s original plan.
One can be strong without the rigidity of resistance. That is real strength. Not having resistance actually makes one stronger. True G-dly power does not throw up walls to people or to life; it confronts them. The power in the Messiah’s message comes from being a servant and loving one another unconditionally.
Perhaps you have noticed that if you do not deal with an issue it will return in a more intense form to re-confront you. You are valuable and you are eventually going to have to accept that truth! Every thing in life you have gone through is for training and equipping you to be used for the glory of His Kingdom. As has been said, you will meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it, "where your greatest hurt is where G-d will use you the most."
So, you will have to face this issue somewhere, sometime. But "facing it" does not mean confronting it. As we may see, ego issues must be confronted and dealt with.
It wasn't about flawless perfection, or always doing it right, it was about being aware and making the changes necessary to maintain harmony with changing surroundings. That is the principle of a happy life and that is the challenge you face in dealing with your fear. Fear causes us to become rigid and stiff (physically and emotionally). We hold back, we do not respond in the moment…and the little problem grows into a mountain.
Although the Creator has given us all many blessings, it is necessary that you experience and accept grace or enlightenment or whatever you choose to call it, for yourself. It is the only way you will trust what you know. Personal drive loss is a separation from part of your vital core caused by things like trauma, psychological disturbance, emotional pain and even witchcraft or generational curses. This vacated region within us can become toxic if not attended to, and lead to disease.
Pain whether physical or emotional is not meant to be a lifestyle! One must choose to deal with the pain of past issues to become an over comer or allow it to defeat you throughout life.
Our destiny is in the choices we make!
Be happy or miserable; no one else can make the choice for you!
