As I walk through this life I have experienced many stages in life that have helped catapult me into greater levels. I realize that sometimes the places you want to get to in life take a little more sacrifice and suffering to get to than other places do. Every level that you want to get to involves a process and an element of the process can sometimes be this element called "pain". There are many perspectives that can be used in regards to how one deals with pain. Athletes might feel that pain equals progress. Some others may feel that pain is the limit for them and in turn is a sign that they should "stop". When a mother is pregnant with a child they may feel that the pain is necessary in order to bring forth precious life. Before I gave my life to Christ there were certain things that I was immune/de-sensitized to around me. Now that I am saved though I have became sensitive to many more things in my life and how they effect me, i.e. spiritual condition of unsaved family members, my lifestyle, my destiny, well being of strangers that I don't know, my future spouse and children. Once someone experiences a greater love through Christ Jesus, they in turn should begin to shift their perspective in order to become sensitized to what Jesus is sensitized to. This is a sign that one is truly ready to grow in relationship and in turn experience a greater level of His embracing love

I John 3:14 says "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death"
I John 4:7 says "Beloved, let us love one another: for God is love and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
We indeed as christians will be known by others by the love we show towards one another and others.
That is an awesome word. God has truly given you a gift. I am actually about to share this with someone who has just been through some pain. I hope you don't mind. She needs it right now.
