Pain has purpose.

"Mostly you realize you can handle it."

Looking at any hard situation-you don't wanna have to bear the pain. But "we were only given this life because we're strong enough to live it."

There seems to be so many logical reasons to want to eradicate all the pain that has eroded...you can't handle it, or you just don't wanna have to handle it, or you feel like you don't deserve it, or something.

Yet even pain has purpose.
Pain has purpose.

There is a time for everything. Even suffering. Jesus suffered grace is offered without a blink of an eye. Grace, suffering, love, strength, we alllllll can see this we all can feel this.

Grace.

I take it for granted. How selfish. How blind.
How ignorant.

Why am I so easily hurt by people? Why do I focus so much on my relationships with earthly people, rather than God? Cause I know in my heart-if I put this much energy into my relationship with my heavenly father--then all of my other relationships would reflect Him.

I'll blame it on my vision. I got glasses yesterday, so now I have no excuse.

I'm here, Daddy. Sorry it took me so long.

AMEN.

There is a time for everything. A time to tear and a time to mend. Mend. There's a time to mend.
