Pregnancy pain

SUMMARY: The Bible often compares affliction and pain to the pain of childbirth. The world is going through bitter and confusing times, with labor pains in many hearts and the earth crying. We don't know what kind of misery lies ahead, but everything seems to indicate that it will not be a blessing. There are new plagues looming over the people of God and Christianity continues to add martyrs to the faith. We need to pray and be pious, fraternal, and in solidarity. We need to strive for love, unity, and prayer. We cannot let labor pains cloud our minds and must fervently pray as if all the pains and afflictions of the world depended on our humble cry.

When biblical writers like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Micah or Paul wanted to give an idea of affliction and pain, they did so by comparing extreme situations and circumstances with the pain of childbirth. It's interesting, because none of them were women. Fairly enough, only they have arguments to talk about it.

These are bitter, violent, confusing times. From this side of the western hemisphere God still allows us to breathe. There are labor pains in many hearts, the earth cries, mothers moan for their demolished children, wives for their husbands, hatred grows between nations, wars replace the smile of God, but still, there is still hope. for this fallen world, although the devil continues in revival with the unconditional help of a good part of God's creatures.
