Spiritual Fitness & Living With Chronic Pain

When living in chronic pain, it is very easy to focus on the darker things of life instead of on the gift of living out each day with an attitude of abundance.

To glean the most, I propose the following: Maximize the “good.” Starve the “bad.”

To complain in the midst of any long, drawn-out trial is simply making “less” of who Christ is within us. It is during these times of spiritual blindness that we must decrease so that He can increase. He who is within us is greater that he who is in the world.

We must fully believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome periods of spiritual discouragement. Think of it this way. As we grow in faith, the Holy Spirit purifies our minds about the real image of God. In essence, this same Spirit can cure our periods of doubt and discouragement. It is vital to contemplate about the true nature of God. Regardless of our circumstances, the nature of God is entirely “good,” even when things do not go as planned.

To cure spiritual blindness is to begin to see things as Christ sees them.
