Good Afternoon Beloved,

Happy Friday! MySpaceGraphicsandAnimations.org

What a beautiful day!

Pain is an indication that something is wrong. There are people with various disorders where they cannot feel pain. I found this explanation on-line:

The CATEGORY of disorders which this falls under is HSAN – which stands for Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy.

There are a variety of disorders which fall under this category and all cause pain insensitivity (not feeling pain). Most of them have multiple names, which can get confusing but all have very different clinical symptoms … and there is genetic testing available for some but not all.

The most well known are Familial Dysautonomia (HSAN type III or Riley Day Syndrome) and CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhydrosis) .. however there are also types I, II and V as well as Congenital Autonomic Dysautonomia and Progressive Panneuropathy. There are varying degrees of severity as far as pain insensitivity, as well as varying degrees of autonomic dysfunction with all of these disorders.

Hope that is helpful to you.

They cannot feel pain. The problem with not feeling pain is that the person can seriously hurt themselves, because they didn’t know there was a problem. Parents have been arrested, and charged with child abuse in some instances, until their child was diagnosed. The point is we need to feel pain. Pain is the body’s way of communicating with us and letting us know that we must give this thing immediate attention. It made me think about God and how He deals with our pain. God is able to remove the power out of the pain. It doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. It’s not that it never happened. Even though the pain itself was real, it’s power to control our life and impede our growth can be annihilated. We don’t become amnesiac and forget, but there will come a time when it won’t be a raw gaping wound. The scar may remain as a reminder, but, they are only proof to a sin-sick and dying world that you have been touched by the same things they are touched by, and that you have come through victorious in Jesus. Otherwise, some may not believe you came through what you came through :D big grin

. This is the one side of the grace of God. The other side is that He will allow us to feel the full affects of the pain, so that we will not so easily be drawn back into it. If the addict can remember the pain of withdrawals, they may think twice before indulging in that behavior again. If the person caught in an illegal entanglement, or un-Godly, illicit relationship can remember the pain, anguish, loneliness and fear they experienced, they will be less willing to enter into another one. “Once bitten, twice shy” the old adage used to say. Life happens. We all make mistakes, sometimes out of ignorance and sometimes out of plain old-fashioned rebellion (if we’re honest). The Good News is that God saw everything we would ever do… and He loves us anyway… His mercy is extended to us anyway.. His forgiveness is available to us anyway… WHAT A WONDERFUL GOD! Instead of trying to do something to “numb” the pain (drugs, sex, alcohol, over-working, etc.), allow God to apply His Spirit to the hurt, and minister healing and deliverance to the root cause of the situation. Remember He said~

Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

[Isaiah 1:18]

..and that Beloved is Good News!
