Your Pain – His Pain

Your Pain – His Pain…

The Scripture says you are Jesus’s body. When your body hurts, you feel it; when it’s sad, you have tears. If you’re His body, then when you’re wounded or rejected, He is too.

When you’re alone, He’s alone along with you (so you’re never really alone). When you feel unholy and far from God, He feels it too. You’re not alone, God isn’t distant, He’s right there feeling even more than you feel. You don’t have to convince Him- He knows your tears already.

God is with you so close that He feels everything you do, as close as His body. So be at peace; when you feel far from God, He’s feeling it with you. He knows. Start partaking of His nature.

As He weeps with your tears, start rejoicing in His joy. Start living holy in His holiness. Become strong in the power of His might, love in His love, and overcome in His victory. You are His body, and that’s about as close as you could ever get to Him.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Give whatever you’re going through today to Jesus, who is with you. Know that He truly feels your pain and all that you’re feeling, and strengthen your heart in that.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
