Our limited understanding of the true nature and impact of pain is due to the way it is shielded from our perception, as the sharp contrast between sin, its consequences, and the justification of such actions blurs the reality of pain. Pain permeates every aspect of our lives, stemming from our inherently flawed existence. The thoughts that give rise to pain are inescapable, illustrating the power of sin and its manifestation in our suffering. Acknowledging our sinful nature places us in a realm where pain holds sway over us, leaving us vulnerable to its profound influence. Even the smallest passage of time can expose us to immense pain, altering our thinking patterns. Our struggle lies in finding peace amidst this pain, as we often navigate the precarious edge between reality and irrationality. We tend to overlook the drastic shifts in our disposition caused by pain, using our minds in an irrational attempt to cope with its overpowering effects. By acknowledging the impact of pain, we are thrust into a realm of uncertainty, leading to a strong desire to understand the problem, its causes, and potential solutions. This need for certainty is inherent in human nature, as we construct systems to define a reality that helps alleviate pain and allows for normal cognitive processes to take place without disruption. Ultimately, the pursuit of peace becomes a goal in itself, despite the ongoing disregard for the underlying reality of our sinful state.We exist in a state of pain within the presence of God, moving and living in Him. He is aware of our sinful state and our belief in Him, as well as our conscious experience of pain. However, we often choose to ignore the fact that it is by His decree that we feel pain, including the intensity and duration of it. He is intimately involved in the physical sensations of our bodies, which are affected by our pain. He sees every aspect of our being, down to the smallest molecules. It is perplexing why we would disregard this reality, as it prevents us from addressing our pain in a rational manner. Our inability to comprehend how our souls process pain and the unseen nature of pain that God perceives within us contribute to this ignorance. If we truly understand this, we must acknowledge that we cannot develop a process to overcome pain on our own, much like how our central nervous system sends signals to alleviate pain. We must recognize that relief from pain can only be found in God within us. He is the all-seeing and all-knowing God, and it is through His presence within us that we can be transformed to be more like His Son. To understand the power of existing in this new reality, we must allow Him to speak His word in us and let His Spirit renew us, all the while being painfully aware of our current state and the stark contrast between our natural state without Him and our renewed state found in Him.
