845) Pain is a reality of life on this earth and the greater you love, the bigger the pain. For example, you have a pet that you love and when you lose it; the pain is huge. Many of us spend way too much time trying to avoid pain, but in doing so, you squelch the love.

Matthew 5:4 illustrates this. If you want comfort, accept that something went wrong. Perhaps that is one lesson Jesus wanted to teach. The greater the love, the greater the pain, but it is worth it. In our pain, God will comfort us.
