It is difficult to explain what chronic pain feels like. What has been the most trying for me is that I can't always do everyday things. I used to run six miles a day. I won't say those days are over but these days sure aren't those days.
The best thing I could have ever done with my life is to serve the Lord. He said, "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you." Loving the people and being in the service of others gets my mind off myself. Days when I could have stayed in bed I choose to help or give of my time. It's easy to forget my own wants, complaints and pains when I do for others what i can.
I don't have to be in physical pain to know what it's like to have the pain of needing someone to care.
Lord, it is my desire to have a tender heart towards all people. Please create in me a clean heart and renew the right spirit within me while I wait on you.
