Have you ever tried putting a band-aid over a pain? Not a cut, scratch, or burn, but an actual physical pain, like a headache or a toothache? Probably not. Because you know that that wouldn’t solve the pain, it would be a pointless attempt at a solution.
Now, take this same band-aid and try putting it over a spiritual pain. Try putting a band-aid over loneliness, sadness, depression, anxiety, or any other desperate feeling you may have. Pointless. Unfortunately, many have been doing just that. Using addictions, partying, long drives, and distractions to ease the pain of the soul is just like putting a band-aid over a headache. The root problems remain unsolved. The real solution is here:
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
If you are looking for the way out, it’s found in Jesus. Maybe all your searching has led to nothing, and you wonder why. Stop searching for permanent solutions in temporary things. Searching for life? Look to Jesus. You won’t be disappointed, and your pain will be resolved.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
