Welcome to the article on the topic of - Don't Be Such A Pain!

There once was a man named Pain by his very own mother.

What a heavy burden for someone to carry around all their life.  Any time and place Jabez happened to appear there was always someone to call out; "Look everybody, here comes Pain."  In his young years Jabez was unfortunately used to his family and strangers making fun of him, avoiding him and mocking him without mercy.

Can you imagine such a childhood?  So many of us can honestly say; "I had it a lot worse then Jabez when I was growing up!"  During childhood, some of us had to face horrible situations like the following just to start with:

The list is far from being complete.  As a matter of fact, if you could tell us your personal story it would likely be too much to bear without tears flowing openly with everyone who listened.  For a very large number of people around the world they have continued to live in vast amounts of pain.  Because of that pain, people have made personal decisions that have all but ruined their lives and the lives of those around them.

Where are you today?  Are you still living in the pain of your youth?  Are you passing that same pain on to a spouse or children?  Do you believe that the pain you have been living with inside of you all these years can never be fixed or healed?  If your answer to any of these questions is 'yes', then you are not alone in the world.  Actually, you are a lot alike a great number of others.

Lots of pain leads to lots more pain, old pain creates new pain until like Jabez in his youth, all you know in your life is pain.  The kind of pain we are discussing can take over or control a person's emotions and thinking processes.  When that happens, people become desperate, making choices and decisions in their life out of despair and fear.  We see such people on the news or in the paper.

Think about it.  You don't want to become such a person, no matter how much pain you find yourself suffering from.  Also, by now you have discovered that you do not have the personal ability to make everything perfect no matter how many times you have tried throughout your lifetime.  Things may seem to be ok for a time, but then everything falls apart in your life once again when the pain returns for one reason or another.

There is hope, an answer that will set you free from your pain for the rest of your life if you want to be free.  There is still more to learn about Jabez, Mr. Pain in 1 Corinthians 4:10 -

The beginning of freedom is admitting that only GOD can help you.  Sorry, there are no effective and life changing 12 Step Programs.  When a person cries out to GOD with an open heart, HE will respond with all the grace you could every need and grant your request.  Goodbye to your life of pain.  Jabez figured this out as an adult.  How about you?  Will you follow in Jabez' footsteps leading to deliverance or deliberately live in your pain in order to be controlled and punished for the rest of your days?  The choice is yours.
