Pain and Healing

2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (NKJV): Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

There is hope in the trial, purpose in the pain, plus the promise of rich and lasting comfort in the arms of our God and Father. It IS there, whether we see it or not, whether we feel it or not, whether we make use of it or not. God gives what He promises, period! Paul gives us a look into how to approach the question of trials, of pain, of suffering, of tribulation. We begin with praise. It seems counter-intuitive for us to praise in the midst of our trials, even more so to have someone suggest that we praise Him FOR them! And yet, that is exactly what is being modeled here. The praise comes first from understanding that God has a purpose… but Paul moves past that in the next words and shows us what that purpose is. Others. The primal reaction to pain is withdrawal, to pull away and curl in, to cut off and isolate. But God has richer plans for our suffering… He intends it to become a conduit for His grace. A means by which we pour into others that which we have received ourselves. It becomes an opportunity for the advance of the Gospel of Christ, and it becomes a path to the re-creation of the soul. It is when we fight against the first urge and reach out to others that the grace begins to flow, for grace, like water, must flow or it will stagnate. God always gives us more than we can give away. Then, in the giving; the comfort, joy and life of Christ works in us as well. In that act of looking outward, the healing begins to take place on the inside also. Beloved, wherever God is touching your life with pain, it is a sanctifying, thing… but when your pain becomes the pathway for Him to touch others, it becomes a healing reality as well!
