Elijah Cummings would tell people 
So we have an assignment don’t we? We are called, set apart, everyday to name our pain and through it we will find our passion, and our purpose.
Finding our pain, our deep most true pain, can be a difficult task. Too easy it is to name our pain o a physical level. But that is not the pain that needs a name, The pain that needs a name is etched in our hearts. It can be transformed into power. A spiritual director or mentor can help you name this.
But once we name the pain, we are challenged to turn it into our passion. That which empowers our being. That which holds us up. That which ignited the fire in our heart. That which continues to ignite that fire.
But the challenge the gift of this saying doesn’t end rather it affords a beginning.
It is to become our purpose. Finding that may be a little more difficult. But with prayer, guiding, listening to our dreams, speaking with a spiritual friend, we can come to see what it is God has for us to do.
God abide
