Pain.

​If we would only stop to realize that the pain we go through is not only for us to grow, but in reality an outlet for others. 
Just like the fruit we bare is for others to share, pain is something that passes. So, we in turn pass the knowledge learned. 

  • Advice. 
  • Courage. 
  • Wisdom. 
  • Understanding. 

All traits learned. 

All traits that can be shared. 

If you never experienced  (& this isn’t possible because we all have) heartache before,  than how can we relate to someone who has or is currently going through it? We cannot.

 The one with the most scars has the most to pass. 

I’m not saying that the pain we feel in our lives is always going to feel like the best thing that could have happen, but when used correctly; it certainly can be. Think of it like a strategy given to you based on what you went through. 

For example, the team on offense tells you what their next steps are. Wouldn’t you want to know these things before calling your defensive approach? Better yet during your approach, so the audible helps stop the attack. (I know I would)

God gives us the same inside information as well to develope the inside. Pain helps us grow. It develops a portion of our character. 

People always say that you can see the type of man during the hard times a lot quicker than when it’s all good.  But what I truly believe is that God wants to go deeper than that. 

Let’s start thinking about others more often, considering them and what they are going through more important, and take the proper steps to give advice, encouragement, and love without reciprocation.  Just only to give. 

For the Lord has always said:   “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Acts 20:35

 Help others, do life together.

  2. I remember in college taking a class in theatre. They taught about how theatre, and stories in general, allow us to observe and empathize with a protagonist who undergoes a painful trial, but to do so with a certain safety: from the audience seats in the dark. Deep down, we know that we get to leave, and that none of this actually happened.

    We can be horrified by what was in the play, and wonder how anyone could ever do such things, but we can go away and discuss it or think on it without feeling that we have to intercede in anything directly. Because no one actually did those things. We can sort of prepare, and preload a refined reaction for when such things actually happen. We can even explore the different points of view on the event, based on the actions of other characters in the story, and decide where we feel we fit best in the pantheon of human society.

    I take from what you wrote above, that on the one hand, if I go through pain, sharing what I went through with others might help them avoid such outcomes for themselves, and on the other hand, if someone else goes through pain, I can get involved both to theirs and my benefit. When someone real gets themselves in real pain, its no longer a safe story. We need to get up out of the seats and display the character that we built from observing. When we are in real pain, we need to reach out and break the barrier sometimes created by the assumption that we’re alone, or that our pain makes us somehow ugly and unacceptable in polite society.

    Thanks for sharing.
