The Wind Against Your Face
Below you'll find a piece I very recently wrote. I put this together by "taping" together the things I have shared over on my FaceBook Page the past few days. Or was that just yesterday?? You see, my FaceBook page is like my drafting pad, when I understand something, see something, realize something, it goes directly onto my FaceBook Page. So, the people who are connected with me on my FaceBook Page get the raw and nude writings in real time! This piece is polished and I wrapped it up with an ending that I wasn't able to share first on my FB Writer Page. So, ending of this piece seen first here on my blog! :)
The Wind Against Your Face
Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closes thing that will give us that wind against our faces.
As long as you harbor bitterness in your heart towards the people, reasons, and situations that caused you pain in your life, you are inhibiting yourself, withholding yourself from the beautiful, sublime experience of healing! To have bitterness and hate is to deny yourself one of the most fulfilling wonders of living! Because it is like this; your struggles of pain are like journeys walking barefoot on roads of thorns! You walk these roads because you want to get to the magnificent place at the end of the road! It can be anywhere you want it to be: a tranquil seashore, a serene mountaintop, a joyous playground, a happy Christmas morning breakfast; you walk these paths of thorns to get to a place. Now imagine getting to the end of the path and then turning around to walk back over the road again! And again and again! That's what you are doing when you hold on to bitterness and resentment and hate. You don't have to like the people or the situations that hurt you, but you have to look forward to the end of the road, you have to look forward to getting to that place. During the process of pain, it's vital for us to feel an eagerness in our hearts to arrive at that place at the end of the agonizing journey. It's very needful that we recognize the reason for pain, which is healing!
A result is something that occurs because of something else. But a reason is an answer to why, a meaning to something given. Healing is not a result, healing is a reason. We are given pain because of healing. In order to experience healing, we go through pain.
