"If your hand or your foot makes you lose your faith, cut it off and throw it away! It is better for you to enter life without a hand or a foot than to keep both hands and both feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.

And if your eye makes you lose your faith, take it out and throw it away! It is better for you to enter life with only one eye than to keep both eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."

(Matthew 18.8-9 GNB)

Feels like a scene from a movie. "Cut it off to save yourself!" If it were me, I do not know I can do it. There is something about inflicting unspeakable hurt to myself that I do not know if I can get myself to do.

Not just physical pain. I would avoid any kind of pain.

And so sometimes God interferes and allow pain to happen in my life. His purpose is so I avoid getting "thrown into the fire of hell" and avoid "losing my faith". If he does not, probably I would never cut off my "hand or foot" nor take out "my eye".

It is painful. But pain is better than losing my faith.
