Sa pangaraw araw nating gawain, madalas taung tamaan ng stress at kahinaan sa mga katawan natin. Dala na to ng pagod, lalo na sa mga working professionals na maxadong devoted at workaholic. Kadalasan, tulad ng advertisement ni tito Manny Pacquiao, tatamaan tau ng body pain. Alaxan anyone?

Pain, o sakit, is a condition wherein the physical state of a person is unpleasant, associated with actual or potential tussue damage. So ibig sabihin nito sakit o hirap sa tagalog. Nakaranas naba kau ng pain? May isshare ako sainu.

There was a boy who had a very interesting life. May everyday routine xa, bangon sa kama, ligo, kain, tutbrush, pasok sa skul, dota, ran online, sf, inom, inom, inom, tongits, kaen, ligo, tutbrush at tulog. Grabe tong taong to di ko nga alam kung anu ginagawa nya sa buhay nya. Anyway, his everyday routine is a pleasure pra sakanya. Kasi sanay na ung katawan nya and nageenjoy xa. Pero one time, something flashed into his mind na parang nasa ibang dimension. Tinanong sya ng isang bagay. Are you HappY?

Sabi nya hindi daw sya si Happy. Niloko pa no? Pero deep inside nagtatanong din xa, masaya ba ko sa buhay ko? Since then his routine were changed in an instant. Naging  bangon sa kama, ligo, kain, tutbrush, pasok sa skul, dota, ran online, sf, inom, tongits, kaen, ligo, tutbrush at tulog. Nawala ung dalawang inom. Jowk lang. Naging bangon sa kama, pray, ligo, kain, tutbrush, pasok sa skul, uwi, kaen, ligo, tutbrush, pray at tulog. Narinig nya si God na kinakausap sya na magbago xa and he did.

Point is, the change he made is not really easy. Just imagine, nasanay ka sa buhay na lahat nakahain na sau den one day, you have to plant and harvest lahat ng mga kelangn mong kanin from the ground, malaking adjustment ang kailangan diba? So isang malaking pain na un sa buhay ng lalaking un na hinarap nya and tinanggap nya for the better naman.

Visualize yourself na kau ung lalaki, if something was to be done and HAS to be done, lalo na kung galing kay Lord, would you obey? Kahit na malaking PAIN ang tatatak sa heart nyu? Would you give everything to the will of Christ even if it means giving your everything para sakanya? Would you bravely strike Pain head first?

We people tend to avoid pain no matter what happens. Sino nga naman diba? Gusto mo ng pain? Pasaksak ka sa kanto. Pero kidding aside, we have the ability to avoid pain. Kahit na alam nating para sa ikabubuti ng madami, wala taung pakialam. Ni simpleng Ampalaya na luto ni nanay ayaw nyu kumaen kasi mapait, e healthy naman. Diba? 

Sabi sa Matthew 16:24-26, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?.“. THis tells us that we must strike pain for God. We may experience unbearable sufferings and many more but if it is for the benefit of many? Pede, kakayanin sir. ^^,.

so BOTTOMLINE:

Never avoid pain, lalo na kung para sa ikabubuti to ng madami, lalo na ng sarili natin. Imagine, Christ endured the pain on the cross for ALL OF US. E tayo? ^^.
