"Jesus
wept."
(John 11:35)
AN
INTERESTING QUESTION
"God
loves you!" --
Yes I've heard that
before.
"God cares for
you!"--I understand
that as well.
"God died for you!"--Uh
huh, people have told
me.
"God hurts with
you!"--What? What
do you mean God hurts
along with me?
A
friend commented that
we shouldn't ask the
question, "Lord,
why are You doing this
to me?" but instead,
"Lord, why are
You doing this with
me?".
As
my friend said, "He
does feel your pain
deeply, it cuts Him
to the core, just as
He and legions of angels
rejoice with us in happiness,
He feels every iota,
every level of pain
that we find ourselves
in. I don't think it
is over dramatical to
say that. If He lives
within us, and we ourselves
feel the pain, how can
you separate the two?".
It
makes you realize how
special suffering is,
can we cherish it? Will
we grasp the notion
that the suffering is
for a perfect reason
and God is using us
in a remarkable way?
It makes me understand
how Paul could endure
what he did, the beatings,
the stonings, the rejection,
the prisons, the shipwrecks
and eventually his death
at the hand of Caesar,
he knew God was with
him through it all,
it wasn't for not, he
wasn't alone but had
the King of the Universe
with him every step
and stone of the way.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
