Romans 8:18 “I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us!” Glory!
Presence Greater than Pain!
“Complacent with Pain”
means one’s numb to surroundings
with divergent, un-urgent,
discouraging words.
“Adjacent to Shame”
then describes that connection
of someone unfeeling,
unnervingly plain.
Disturbingly found
far too often than “never”,
are those of the Body —
in favor of statues.
Appearing asleep
and not fighting their battles
so wounds they keep taking…
while yet standing still!
So waken, oh Self:
do not leave Pain — unhindered!
With sword and with shield,
take back ground that was lost!
Then praying on fire
with the SPIRIT’s outpouring…
retrieve your LORD’s presence
by moving again!
Embrace then such Peace
shouting out JESUS NAME!
As HIServant refusing to stand still and lose ground to satan,

Devotional: John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
We must press onward driven by the Hope of our calling. JESUS!
When Pain would try to lull us into a lesser stance and surrender more Hope and additional Faith…then!
We each must make a “moving stand” since our Joy IS in the LORD!
Even though physical pains and earthly wrongs assail us constantly,
…they ALL have an end point, a coming demise, a certain death!
Revelation 21:4 “HE will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away!”
Their “point B”, those souls who love the works of Darkness, is no less than Hell. Therefore!
We need not live in this life with their reactions. So …Rejoice! All things shall be made perfectly right and pure without exception.
So when this world twists and deceives with such a narcissistic flair, just smile and lift GOD’s praise!
Isaiah 35:3-4 “Strengthen the limp hands and steady the feeble knees!
4 Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your GOD will come with vengeance. With divine retribution HE will come to save you!”
Beloved, our Point B is Heaven! So come THOU quickly, oh LORD!
Amen and amen!
