Yes - it is caused by nerve damage from the Shingles, I think. My husband used the Tens machine, and it seemed to help, somewhat. We tried everything - diet, ointments, soaks, packs. The only thing that seemed to help was chocolate!
(Just kidding, Polly!) Hope you find some way to get relief, bless your heart! If I hear of any new treatments, I’ll forward them on to you. (HUGS!!)
Its easy to think of God as a divine fly-swatter, just waiting for you to land so thatwhapHe can nail you for your sins. But thats not what we see in Revelation 23 in His letters to the seven churches. The pattern of the letters demonstrates Gods loving heart for wayward people.
Jesus began many of these letters by affirming the good things His people had done. This shows us that when we do what is good and right, the Lord is pleased.
But Jesus is also concerned about the faults in our lives. His commendation in these letters was often followed by clear words of reproof. And while its not comfortable to hear Him say, Nevertheless I have this against you (2:4; see vv.14,20), He reveals what needs to be changed in our lives to keep us from self-deceit.
This moves us to the real heart of the matterrepentance. When the Lord told these churches to repent, He was revealing His love for wayward saints. His goal was not to condemn but to restore them to intimate fellowship with Him.
And dont miss the fact that each letter ends with a specific promise for the overcomers. Clearly God desires to reward those who live lives that are pleasing to Him.
Whats He saying to you today?
