God grieves with us in our suffering. There is no living a life and avoiding some pain in it. We are breakable, hurtable, vulnerable creatures. No matter how much faith in God you have, you’ll still be a human being living on planet earth where pain is a fact of life. Faith does not wrap us up in cotton wall.
God understands and cares about your pain. God knows what it is like to suffer. He lost his only begotten son, Jesus, who was murdered.
Jesus himself suffered all the emotional, physical and spiritual pains of being human that we share. Jesus had loved ones die, friends murdered, knew what it was like to be misunderstood, rejected and despised. Jesus got frustrated, tired, lonely and sad.
Are you hurting? Cry on God’s shoulder. Jesus knows what it is like.
