Pain killers have their uses but Paul Brand, a Christian doctor working amongst victims of leprosy, says that pain is a valuable gift from God! Sadly leprosy destroys all sense of pain so that when, for example, those with the disease handle hot saucepans they get badly burned.
We often can't understand why God allows us to have painful experiences in our lives but St. James gave this advice to Christians who were being persecuted. "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials." [James 1:2,3].
Put your troubles in the credit column, not the debit, pray that you will learn
wisdom through them then they will become blessings in disguise!
