Pain
I've been recently learning that pain is pain...it is felt the same way by everyone everywhere, just originating from different sources.
A child drops his ice cream cone and cries. This is the same pain that is felt by someone who lost an arm.
Someone who losses someone to death and someone who losses someone from a heart break experience the same pain. I'm crying the same way about a heart break as I was crying over the death of a friend last week. It is the same heart wrenching feeling, that brings overwhelming sadness...
I remember the day my first pet gold fish died...I sat on my mom's lap and cried with all my might, just cried because I lost something very dear to me. I made it a tomb in my backyard and I would go visit it often when I was young. Isn't it weird how pain is felt the same, throughout the different ages and phases in life?
I've been told before that I'm very understanding..."you are beyond understanding, you understand when there is no understanding" I've been told..
I've been learning that I don't understand pain. I will never understand pain, why it is, and how it is goes away..or is masked with time. I'm learning that sometimes, there is no understanding at all. There is no understanding of why someone would walk into a school and shoot children, no understanding why the father of two young lovely boys was taken away so early, why 19 firefighters died in a wild fire because the wind suddenly changed directions.
Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
