Your Question:
Can I still have a life with chronic pain?
Answer:
I can relate to the struggles of chronic pain, having seen my wife Susan go through her own share of pain and suffering in the past. As a pastor, I've also counseled many individuals who've faced similar challenges. While it's true that pain can be a significant burden, I believe that with time and perspective, it's possible to find a sense of peace and purpose. As I reflect on my own life, I've come to realize that our experiences, including those of pain and suffering, are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a larger narrative that's unfolding in the context of eternity. Our understanding of pain and evil must be contextualized within this eternal perspective, and not just our earthly temporality. This means that even in the midst of suffering, we can find hope and comfort in the knowledge that our pain is not meaningless, but rather, it's an opportunity to grow and learn. In my experience, it's not just about alleviating pain, but also about finding purpose and meaning in the midst of it. As I've seen in my own life and in the lives of those I've counseled, pain can be a catalyst for spiritual growth, and it's in these moments of difficulty that we're forced to confront our deepest questions and fears. By trusting in God and fixing our eyes on Him, we can find the strength to persevere, even in the midst of chronic pain.
