one aspect of pain is that it keeps us safe. When I touch a knife I know that the harder I press on the blade the more it is going to hurt. That sense of pain keeps me from impaling myself on knives. Leporsy causes nerve damage. The issue with nerve damage is that people no longer know when to stop doing something that is hurting their body. That is why lepors are often missing toes, limbs, and cause damage to their body.
We need pain in life to keep us from hurting ourselves and others. All kinds of pain are needed to keep us safe. I often don't think of pain as a safety mechanism but it does have its upside.
If I start with the truth God loves me and work from there. Then I can begin to understand pain What I can't understand I pray about, and what is never revealed to me I call mystery knowing that His ways are higher than mine.
It is not just sensing pain that keeps us safe, but what about all other types of pain. What if they too keep us safe? What if emotional pain, loss pain, crazy pain, inner pain, caused, permitted, and found is someway related to his gift of safety?
Thank you Papa, that you loved me so much you gave me the ability to feel pain.
