No Pain, No Gain

No pain, no gain. That's what the world tells us. But why? Well, everyone has pain. Think about it everyone has been touched with some kind of sickness, cancer, phenomena, diabetes, asthma, hypothermia, arthritis, a million other possibilities... and if it's not that it's car crashes, abuse, starvation, dehydration, etc. And those are only a few, there's lesser pains like falling off of a roof (or another great height), spraining your arm, wrist, or leg, there lots of other possibilities even down to stubbing your toe. There are even emotional possibilities like rejection, depression, heartbreak, etc.
 Even the Bible says this:

 "I said,

“Lord, you know how I suffer.

Take thought of me and care for me.

Pay back for me those who have been persecuting me.

Do not be so patient with them that you allow them to kill me.

Be mindful of how I have put up with their insults for your sake.

  As your words came to me I drank them in,

and they filled my heart with joy and happiness

because I belong to you.

   I did not spend my time in the company of other people,

laughing and having a good time.

I stayed to myself because I felt obligated to you

and because I was filled with anger at what they had done.

   Why must I continually suffer such painful anguish?

Why must I endure the sting of their insults like an incurable wound?

Will you let me down when I need you

like a brook one goes to for water, but that cannot be relied on?” (Jeremiah 15:15-18, NET Version)

 

 God replied like this:

 

    

   Because of this, the Lord said,

“You must repent of such words and thoughts!

If you do, I will restore you to the privilege of serving me.

If you say what is worthwhile instead of what is worthless,

I will again allow you to be my spokesman.

They must become as you have been.

You must not become like them.

   I will make you as strong as a wall to these people,

a fortified wall of bronze.

They will attack you,

but they will not be able to overcome you.

For I will be with you to rescue you and deliver you,”

says the Lord.

  “I will deliver you from the power of the wicked.

I will free you from the clutches of violent people.” (Jeremiah 15:19-21, NET Version)

 

So you see if you don't face any trial and life is a breeze then you will never be a "fortified wall of bronze".

 

 Fear not though!!!

   God also said this:

 

   "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.” (Revelation 21:4, NET Version)

 

 WARNING!!!!!!

   YOU WILL ONLY GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS IF YOU TRUELY IN YOUR HEART BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR SAVIOR! 

 

 I AM GOING TO BE FRANKLY HONESY WITH YOU... IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT THAT, THEN YOUR GOING TO HELL NO MATER HOW MANY "GOOD" THINGS YOU'VE DONE ON EARTH. AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THERE IS A AFTERLIFE.

 

  IF YOU THINK THAT THERE ISN'T ONE ASK YOURSELF THIS: "IF THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE THEN WHY DO WE CARE WHETHER WE ARE RICH OR POOR? WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT LIVING IN A NICE HOUSE IF WERE JUST GOING TO DIE AND GO NOWHERE? WHY? WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIFE THEN?

 

                                                                  On that note I'll be leaving, but I sincerely hope you                                                         guys really think about this. Feel free to leave comments.

                                                                    I'll be praying with all of my heart for each of you! 

                                                                                                                Carpe Diem and

                                                                                                                         God Bless!!!
