Oh! the overwhelming advantages of pain.....What?! advantage of pain?.... YES! pain has gain.I know every one wishes for a life free of pain, pain free experiences in life. We all want comfort and good success and good health to enjoy it all but realistically this is not the case.
In the real world which is the world you and I live in pain is real.It is not pleasurable and undesirable but it has its own benefits and advantages.Think about it this way: if there were no feeling of pain,one can use a knife to cut or stab someone else and because there no feeling of pain, one would hurt and even kill people....Pain makes the difference here,it makes us emphatic, so in this light we can be grateful to God for the feeling of pain.!
Pain helps put a lot of things in perspective.The pain of a loss, the pain of regret, the pain of ignorance e.t.c. Pain also help us not hurt our neighbor with words or actions.
So if you are going through pain, stop and think: what could be the advantage of this pain? For instance, if you have experienced the pain of the loss of a loved one, you will be able to comfort someone else who is in that situation, your experience has refined you and now makes you a blessing to someone else , you are able to effectively reach out and impact that person because you have been there at one time in the past. 
My admonition today is that going forward, in the face of any pain, be it emotional, psychological,the pain of loss or any kind of pain, Go through it with a new mind set which is : What is the lesson or gain in this pain? because truth is, we can bring out something beautiful out of an ugly, and we can bring out gain out of any pain. With this kind of mindset, we are able to go through any kind of pain life brings our way in a better way and come out with gain.
