Pain's wonderful purpose in LIFE

.
The purpose of pain is to teach us how to live in the MOMENT.

When we live in the moment, pain does not exist for it needs time, past and future, to contrast itself against. What causes our pain is when we compare our experience in this moment with a prior experience from our past or an expected experience in our future.

If we judge a past moment in time as better than this moment in time, we experience pain. If we judge that an expected experience in the future will be better than the experience we are having in this moment of time, we experience, by mental contrast, pain or discomfort.

The purpose of pain is to support us to live "fully present" in each and every moment of now. Unfortunately, many people try to run from their pain rather than embrace it.

The moment we embrace any pain we are experiencing, in the "here and now," the pain dissolves instantly because pain cannot survive in the LIGHT of God's love for us. And the LIGHT of God's love can only be found in the moment because that is where God lives and the moment is all there is.
