Every step was a battle. He would stick his right foot forward and drag the left with excruciating difficulty. Then he would sit on the floor by the roadside to recover his breathe, rising minutes later to repeat the process. It was a very slow walk on this rural road and a long but steady walk to a goal within reach.

?For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.? ? Romans 8: 22-23 (KJV)

Your pain in not forever.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
