Commandment to love

Recently, one of my parents suddenly developed extreme pain. Unable to walk, sit or even lie down without pain, I can only imagine how limiting life can suddenly become. We take so much for granted,  especially for those of us who do not have constant pain, daily activities like sitting down to eat, to go to the toilet, lying down to rest for the day, cleaning etc.

When pain peaks, nothing else mattered. Mood swings, anger, hopelessness, depression, insecurity, financial drain, just to name a few. But no matter what, my mission is to love. To love without expectations, to serve like the lowliest servant, to cheer like a person with hope,to pray like a person with faith.

Jesus took his own body, and offered it for my sins. The pain, suffering, can only be imagined. They say that in the movie 'The Passion of The Christ', the torture shown was a mere 40% of what really happened.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I lift up all those who are in pain today, those whose pain is not just limited to physical, but mental and emotional pains. Those whose pain cannot be relieved by medicines. Please send your comforting love to them, and let them know You are very near and understand very well. Bless them Lord. Amen.
