Why Does God Allow Pain?

During the readings I've been honored to give; there are several themes that reappear throughout the sessions...one in particular I would like to briefly talk about is...pain.

Pain is something that comes across so many times and rears it's ugly head in so many different forms.
There's not a week goes by that I don't encounter a loved one who has taken their own life or feels responsible for their own passing.

So why is there so much pain associated with people who have passed and why is there so much pain in the people who are left behind? What in the heck is God doing?

Doesn't God know that...we suffer? We hurt? We feel alone? We feel isolated? We feel no one cares?
I remember a reading that I did for a beautiful young lady (we will call her D) awhile back in which I gave her information about her two sisters...one had some medical issues, which she validated and one was the comic of the group, which D also validated.

Just a short time later after the reading, the comic of the group, suddenly passes. Here one day, and gone the next; or so it seemed...the passing was really quick.

I look at readings such as this one and actually question God and ask..."what the hell? Why could I have not seen this coming?"
God's reply? "Jerry, you have a special gift, but everybody has special gifts and your gift does not entitle you to know everything. Your gift has manifested itself within you to help heal people...that's your calling."

That's all of our calling...to heal one another.
Think of it this way...in order for healing to take place...we have to have pain and suffering in our lives. God allows pain to happen, the same way God allows healing to happen.
Pain and healing are connected like a brother and a sister.

Next time you feel pain; just wait, because even though it may take some time...healing is on the way.
