He Knows Your Pain

For since He Himself was tested and suffered, He is able help those who are tested. Hebrews 2:18


No one knows exactly what you are going through right now. No one can totally understand your suffering, your pain. There is no one here on earth that can be the perfect comfort that you may need right now. What you are dealing with is unique to you.

There are a lot of people that have had similiar experiences, but we each experience life a little bit differently. The only person that can really provide the comfort and that knows you so well, and knows pain and suffering so well, is Jesus Christ.

The verse quoted above shows us that Jesus suffered (just read the Gospels [Matthew, Mark, Luke and John]) and He is uniquely equipped to relate to YOU. No matter who you are. Jesus suffered as a human and He understands. As God Jesus knows our hearts, our souls. He gives Himself the ability to relate, because He is all loving, and all compassionate. Jesus wants to be with you through this.

Invite Him into your life. Let Him help you. He knows you. He loves you. He's been there before, and He wants to be there for you. Let Him. It is the best decision you can make, the one that will bring the most healing to your life.

He Loves Us Through It

I just heard the Martina McBride song, "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" and I almost started weeping! It is such a poignant song, but one that really hit home to me. I love the message behind the song. That someone has so much love that they will get us through the hard times, the horrible times, that we can't do anything that will make them not love us.

The song is not a fairy tale, for we can each have that special someone, though it isn't a boyfriend, a spouse, or a best friend. The only one that we can REALLY count on to love us through our worst times, to ALWAYS be there, to love us through the horror that we go through, the only one is our Heavenly Father. He is up there saying, "I'm here. I'm knocking on your heart. I want you to let me love you through this pain, this fear, this adversity. I want to love you through it. I want to love you till you feel joy again, and I want to love through the joy as well."

Do you need love like that? Love that is yours no matter who you are, what you have done, what has happened to you? It is just a prayer away! You don't have to know much about the Bible. You just have to say "Yes Lord I believe that I need You. I believe that You are my only hope. I accept You, thank you for accepting me."

Now, let Him love you.
