I Thank God...

Though it is a necessary element of life itself,
We all strive to be free from it.
For if we are free of it, our lives are worth living,
If it did not exist, we would not either.
Without it, we would not grow, we would not know.
With it, we do know, we know first hand.
It binds us, it informs us, it guides us.
It makes us cry, it makes us stronger, allows us to survive.
Not one soul can live without it,
but to be living with it...no one should!
It comes and goes!
Not meant to stay!
If it stays, God bless you! I will pray for it to go away!
I pray for you a better day!
Our body gets into trouble, there it is!
Our hearts get stepped on, there it is!
Our mind gets insulted, there it is!
It warns us...Hey! something is amiss here!
If we live our everyday lives with it,
we are only living with what causes it!
If we know the cause, we should always strive to fix that cause.
Everyday we are fixing the symptom not the cause.
Everyday we are living a lie of sorts.
For God gives us this symptom so we may have life
And yet this symptom has caused us not to have life.
Life would not be...without it.
Life is not...with it.

I thank God for pain!
