ÒIf we donÕt deal with our pain then it will deal with us.Ó This statement is especially true for the Church. If we donÕt become the Church that deals with pain effectively and openly then we will continue to lose believers to the snares of temptation. Through the pages of this book we will examine healthier and God honoring ways to address our pain. This world is a difficult and painful place to live. Maybe, just maybe, if we begin to address the pain of the people within our walls then the need to escape and medicate will be met and addressed through the Living Water Love of Christ.
God has a plan and purpose for our lives and that includes the pain of our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,Ó declares the LORD, Òplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
