Pain in life has a purpose. It can be a good thing.
Pain, when not resisted, always purifies and enlightens.
Pain that is resisted becomes suffering. …
Pain is a fact of life; misery is a state of mind.
Paul Coutinho, SJ, Just as You Are, 64

It is when you are close to death that you get to know Him even better. It is also during that time when, if you pray for others that you feel His being there with you. A closeness that I never felt before. One time I was in a hospital and had a medical problem, and in my crying out to Him – his reaction was to have someone else in a similar situation but worse, be put in the room in the bed next to mine. I instantly knew He was blessing me, as I relaized that I needed to take my eyes off of me and on to the one who just came into my room. I have found that if I take my eyes off of myself and seek His comfort for others I am blessed beyond words. It is in those times that He shows Himself even more to me. He is not only my life, he is my everything. I just had to get to the point that I was totally in His hands to realize that simple fact.
