Have you ever had a pain? Pain is universal. Nearly everyone at one point or another has experienced pain. An infant lying in a crib has pain. A student attending school has pain. Parents involved in the fast paced activities of the work place have pain. Senior citizens have pain. Pain does not discriminate. The rich, the poor, whites, Blacks, males and females, all have had a pain or two in the course of their life's experience. It is almost impossible to journey through life without experiencing some element of pain and discomfort.

   There is only one spiritual pain killer that treats the cause of the pain rather than the symptom, that is the blood of Christ. The grace of God deals with the cause of spiritual pain does more than simply make us feel good for the moment but forgives our sin and heals our wounds.

   As believers, we are encouraged to know that the blood of Christ is a pain killer and not just a pain reliever. We lean upon his Grace to heal our wounds and strengthen our souls through his love.

   Today, if painful situations come; whisper a prayer to God and watch how fast he works.
