Living in Pain...

Quick report on Sandy, she is doing great and is home enjoying the affect of modern day pain medication! The surgery went off without a hitch and the Dr. reported she had a huge bone spur that was giving her all the problem in her shoulder. An easy fix for him and a relatively simple surgery.
I read the blog post from yesterday and thought about Sandy living for 2 years in pain with her shoulder. We all carry pain around in our lives and bodies that Jesus did not intend for us to carry. Pain of disappointments, offenses, broken relationships/hearts, dis/ease, etc... Jesus came to bring us blessing by taking stripes for us for our healing and take away our pain.

The picture above is a Tsunami victim in Sri Lanka working in a cinnamon house. His pain was he lost all he had on earth during the moment of horror. Before the tsunami he had no future, no job, no self esteem... Now he has been blessed with a new house and a regular income working in the cinnamon house. Jesus washed his pain away... literally! Sometimes he will move the earth to take away our pains. He hears our cries and is working his plan to relieve us from pain. Sometimes it is just not that easy as taking 2 aspirins...
When we think we can not endure anymore pain... Jesus comes to provide a way of escape. Sandy had to take the time to get surgery to remove the pain and will benefit the joy of living with no pain again. Look into your life today and let the Lord take the pain away...Let him heal the inflammed area with the oil of joy that can only come from him. The Lord may have to do some surgery to relieve the affected area but we all know he is the master physician.
Sandy and I will both benefit from her being pain free least when she recovers from the surgery... This is one of the benefits of being pain free; all those around you will enjoy the blessing of living a pain free life. Thank you Jesus for taking away my pain! Come on now this is good stuff!
Got to go... Daylight's Burning!
