FEBRUARY 22, 2020

I was given pain pills after my knee surgery
The meds relieved the pain but make me sick 
So, I decided to stop taking the medicine
Obviously, the pain heightened causing physical discomfort

I thought of the two worlds I live in
The natural world and the spiritual world
In the natural world, I feel physical pain
In the natural world, I am given a pill to alleviate pain

It made me think of His pain and shame on the Cross
The pain He must feel about my disobedience and sin
Spiritual pain is being separated from my Creator
In the spiritual world, I feel pain in my heart

In the Spiritual world, I am given the Scriptures
To bridge the gap between God and my sins
His Word brings an internal pain to the surface of my heart 
God feels our pain, “in all our afflictions, He was afflicted” 

In both the natural and supernatural worlds
An equilibrium of comfort is shattered
The pain in my knee spreads throughout my leg
The pain in my heart effects my whole being

Physical pain is part of the natural world's aging process
Spiritual pain is a choice to walk with God or the evil one
May I always be in His word, His Spiritual healing 
He has promised me salvation, and heaven that is pain free
