PAIN In the midst of feeling pain it's next to impossible to realize there's no truth to it. Only in quietness, and in the stillness of our inner being, is it possible to commune with God. In so doing, it is revealed that pain has no authority, no dominion, no reality because it is not of God - it is not God's nature. God is not in pain and God is not pain. God is all and the only reality there is. If pain is tempting you to believe in it, do as Jesus when he said, "Get thee behind me..." In other words, "Don't tempt me into believing you. I know you are not real and I know you have no power. There is only one power and that is God". The truth we realize in our inner being will be made manifest in our outer experience. |
