(Part 3 of 4)
Pain Erased (Part 4 of 4)
The food of the heart is love. We thrive upon love. However, where is God's love when
disaster strikes, or when I lose a loved one? Where is God's love when I am staring at
death's door? Where is God's love when I and others I care about become innocent victims?
Where is God and His love when I am alone in my private pain and cannot see any light?
Where is God and His love when I am besieged on every side by every spiritual enemy? We
have all been at places in our lives when these questions occur. The reality for most of
us is we ask these questions because there are times when His love seems absent. There are
times when God is silent when we talk with Him. There are times when it seems God has
forgotten us. Many of us have wrestled with these questions for years. The Bible is full
of answers for us and most of us know what the answers are. We know in our mind that God
is with us all the time. However, there are times when we need another way of looking at
the way God works. Think of God's presence in your life like training wheels on a bicycle.
Sometimes you lean to one side while you are learning to ride the bike and the training
wheels keep you from falling over. At other times, when you have your balance the training
wheels never touch the ground. In either case, if you are so busy just trying to keep your
balance, you are never aware of the training wheels. Many times in our lives, we are too
busy trying to keep our balance to know or notice that Christ is still there supporting
us.
