Pain is Real

 In the beginning, God created the world perfect. He made all, and He said that it was good. But man fell short. The lust of Eve's eye led her astray. The serpent's voice was loud twisting the truth of God. As a result, man fell. Death entered the world. Ever since that moment, ALL creation moans and longs for creation to be redeemed. I could only imagine the hurt and breaking of God's heart in the midst of this pain as he watched His perfect creation wither and fade. God could have left us mankind in this disaster with no hope. He could have wiped out all creation and started over. But in his ALL KNOWING wisdom, He did not. Instead, He chose to shed His mercy, He sent His only Son Jesus. He gave Jesus as a gift to the world. Again, God watched HIS only Son be beaten, scorned, and rejected by the very creatures He created. Satan thought he won in the death of Christ. But Christ rose 3 days later. His Suffering became glory. Believers of Christ will one day taste full redemption. There is GLORY awaiting. Suffering will be redeemed!!!!! This life is painful. It is full of heartache and disappointment. Pain is REAL, and so is JESUS!  Jesus Christ is truly the only HOPE left when evil is so prominent in this broken world. Come Lord Jesus....Come!
