Living With Chronic Pain – Spiritual Healing – Be A Farmer Of The Word
In my last article I touched on the importance of being a farmer when taking care of your body through dietary measures and appropriate exercise. Likewise when living with chronic pain and trying to endure some different forms of suffering, it’s equally important not to let your heart become like rocky soil in which the seed of the gospel does not root firmly.
If you have a belief in God, persecution and troubles and afflictions are a normal part of being tied in faith with Jesus Christ. Suffering is simply a refining tool so your faith is made manifest. In other words, through enduring painful afflictions your faith can be as real as what you sense about the realness of your reality at this very moment. Sounds philosophical? But it really isn’t.
Suffering helps you to grasp the realness of eternal living, as it relates to your every day existence while on this earth. Therefore, God becomes even more real in the present and in the active sense of who you are and what you do.
If you truly claim the Christian faith as your foundation of belief, then I encourage you not to avoid the construct of suffering. Be a farmer. Plant the seeds of faith and await the harvest of righteousness. Discern the good soil for the word of God to take firm root in your life, producing abundance in spiritual richness.
