Does God Feel my pain? Part 1
In today's reflections i want us to focus on one single are of mental pain and which i hope to tackle it in the coming days. the reflections an thoughts are drawn from my own experiences and from my close friends. They are also inspired from my interactions with God's word which i have made to be my single most authority that i will use. Well, lets start the journey....As a christian its possible to go through a trying moment in which emotionally, psychologically you are hurt resulting in pain. As people dwelling and interacting with fellow humans its part of life to feel dejected in the heart because of the treatment sometimes we experience when those we cherish go beyond what we expect them to do for us but rather treat us coldly. As a fundamental and real issue, it needs careful handling and pure solving without shying away from it. Life becomes at times a giant puzzle we cannot solve unless we are endowed with special gift of wisdom. Its actually true and possible to loose through a sudden death a parent, simbling or friend while at the same time be unwell. Its also much possible to grieve when one realizes they are unrewarded for hard work. All you get after working is far much below your expectaction and to complicate matters further is the negative attitude of those who give it. You work hard than the rest yet you get the least compensation among your coworkers. People force you to do things that hurt your conscience, eat, love, think, talk or walk in places you do not like perhaps this leaves guilt in your heart. You are forced to withdraw from some jobs, groups and christian communities because you do not fit according to their membership. Their ideologies and basis of their existence do not coherently work with what you believe and are willingly ready to follow. Worse still is the separation of loved ones. You are despised and mocked. They leave us with scars in our hearts and recurrent pain that makes us ask endless questions sometimes to ourselves and also God. A young lady who looked forward for a promised marriage by her fiencee but which never came to be will wonder and ask, “Had he not promised to marry me?” but the man will say “But I changed my mind” or “i was not ready for a marriage life”. If you are like me we become frustrated and shed tears. In our bedrooms and secret places, or other times in public show frustrations to make other people understand what we are going through. We become angry, unfriendly and make decisions that lead to conflicts. Yet even in this circumstances, no one is there to give answers why it happened and why at that time. There is no one to comfort us. We are stuck. We are with no way out of the pain. We hide in our pain and never want to confront the painful situation. life becomes more tearful, painful, fearful and less enjoyable.
See you for more of this soon!
