it's about the same difference as there is between painful and hurtful, let alone deadly. a lot of things that are painful, are only that and nothing more.
and you know what? in reasonable doses, both difficult and painful is good for you.

there is a big difference between impossible and difficult
it's huge. it's the difference between impossible and possible. things that are difficult are not impossible; they are only difficult. like carrying by bike 3 tomato plants across a long bridge, sometimes uphill, and most of the time windward. or eating something you don't like. i mean, it's impossible to eat a rock, but is only difficult to eat cow tongue.

All life exists on the razor's edge between conflict and comfort; between challenge and resolution. It is in this tension that we work out the difference between difficult and impossible. We discover our actual resources by pushing our limits and trusting God in the midst of it. Hesitation and hubris are two extremes on the continuum which we negotiate. And Grace, that wonderful unspeakable, undefinable, ineffable, fills in the spaces of the unknown with Love.
