Ray is in the Hospital

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on May 20, 2012, 09:34:27 PM ---I just prayed for Ray. I asked God why we must endure such intense pain? I know Jesus suffered His entire earthly life and especially His last few days. But why? What does severe, intense pain do or accomplish in our lives?

John,
I've been asking the same things you mention above, I know the intellectual & logical answers to these questions as presented from Ray's material and I'm sure that you do too, but emotionally, the gravity of such suffering and pain is beyond Me, don't like the fact that God plans for suffering to the extent We might receive it, but He's in charge and even though I don't have to like it, which admittedly, I don't, it's a happening, it's been that kind of year for Family Members and myself, I can't even fathom the extent of pain Ray's going through, especially with all the full dosage of pain killers He's receiving to try and ease some of His suffering.
Take Care, Samson.

Thank you for your honest words Samson. You are right. I think that we are not to appreciate the suffering in itself, but the fruits that it can produce. I remember one thing Ray said in this regard. He was sure that God put Him through this terrible suffering so that he would have more love and understanding for other people suffering and struggling. Imagine that! Amazing! All things work together for good, indeed. But I will not for one minute suggest that it doesn't greatly trouble me.
God bless you,
Eirik

Amen to that Eirik, You can add to the above: Ecclesiates.1:13, " God has given Mankind an experience of Evil in order to humble them." It's probably true in my case, ;).
Kind Regards, Samson.

Doctor said it can still be a few more days.
Dennis Vogel:
Dennis,
I read a lot of the comments and prayers on the forum. I would like you to post a messages saying that I am reading the messages and I appreciate the thoughts and prayers from every single person. Even if I don't know most of them personally they seem to be connected to me through Ray. It gives me great comfort to know that so many people are thinking about him right now. I told him that everyone is praying for him.
