Again, may God bless you. I gather from your posts that the pain must be almost insufferable at times for you. I will pray for you.
I realize this is not a valid comparison to yours, but I mention it only because of my thoughts at the time. I had food poisoning recently, and it was pretty awful. I remember, thinking at the time, that I actually would prefer death than have this go on for any length of time.
There is spiritual suffering as well. I have known distance from God because of my own sin, and that has been a different (but very real) type of suffering. But praise God, He is the eternal healer, and hope.
Thank you.
My brother said it best. A person next to you can have terrible cancer and if you get a paper cut, that cut will seem like the worst pain in the world because YOU are feeling it.
It’s not a selfish thing. It’s human. We can empathize but not feel others’ pain.
Food poisoning sounds awful.
And I have known distance from God many times.
AFter my pop died when i was 14.
After a head injury left me home for a number of years to recover with some permanent symptoms to live with.
But i caused many of my own problems though self pity, depression and envy. The devil loves putting those things in you and he rock and rolled with me.
But he didn’t kill me.
Bot you and I have survived to fight another day :)
