We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
Rather than face the mere possibility of pain we will not act at all . . . or do something easier than we should attempt.
From Ecclesiastes 3:22: “So I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them?”
You feel your strength in the experience of pain.
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
From Isaiah 49:13: “Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have compassion on His suffering ones.”

Does anyone truly feel my pain tonight?
Feeling run over, with nothing to gain
Nightly tears and torment, dark dreams take flight
Who can reach out with love to ease this pain?
Feeling without life, bleak and cold numbness
A distant, yet strong voice comes close to thee
Light creeps over the horizon’s darkness
Listen! Hear His voice, kneeling on my knees
God’s Holy Word soothes agonizing pain
Turning to listen, He’s never been gone
Leaving oneself with so much love to gain
Now praising my Lord, life hums a new song
My Lord, my God—His mercy comforts thee
Lasting hope, opens eyes forever to see

This poem was inspired by a few of the lyrics from the song “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. A fellow blogger shared this song, and my poetic craft found a way to bring some of the song into this Christian poem. God inspires!
