For a wound to heal,

you have to clean it out.

Again, and again, and again.

And this cleaning process stings.

The cleaning of a wound hurts.

Yes.

Healing takes so much work.

So much persistence.

And so much patience.

But every process has an end

and an appointed term.

Your healing will come,

God willing.

And like all created things,

your worldly pain will die.
