“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” Psalm 56:8
He gets everything about you, your joy, your hurt, your anger, your sadness, He gets it all. No one on earth gets you the way He does. No one on earth knows your thoughts, but He does. No one can see past all the layers but Him. Those moments you feel like you have been so misunderstood-He gets! The needs you long for the most-He knows and supplies.
“Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it.” Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus knows exactly how you want to be loved and because of that He went above and beyond the call of duty for you. All He asks for in return is that you accept, believe and cling tightly to Him who is love.
You think you are the only one in the world facing the problems you are facing, you’re not, Jesus faced them too and overcame them. Not only that but it makes His love even more valuable. At some point in our lives we are going to have to stop focusing on the things of this world, we are going to have to stop whining about all of our problems and start trusting and claiming God’s love for us.
Life is hard, Jesus never said it would be easy, was it easy for Him? NO! But accepting and receiving His love is so easy! It is a gift given to each and every one of us. Jesus says in the passage above. I faced every temptation you have faced; I know every one of your weaknesses. I also know that I died for you and have more love to give you than your body is even able to contain. So come to me and let me pour my mercy upon you and let me show you my grace (agape love) that will help you when you need it.
I know what your childhood was like; I know how much that affair destroyed you and your marriage. I know that it left a hole in your heart and a wall taller than Mount Everest. I know the abuse you endured, wounded you. I know your divorce left you feeling alone and wanting to be loved. I know how the death of your loved one ripped your heart out. I know the illness you have and the battle you are fighting has taken all your strength. I know the addictions you have are stronger than you can fight. Please believe me I KNOW! I also know that I have the only love that can heal, restore, and bring a type of peace that will suffice until I bring you home.
Let me love you, choose my love! Here I am, look up at me. Reach out and take my hand I want to place you under my wings of love and protection. “He will shield you with his wings. He will shelter you with his feathers. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Psalm 91:4
Jesus thank you for helping me. I sing for joy in the shadow of your protecting wings. I follow close behind you; your strong right hand holds me securely. (Psalm 63:7-8) Not even a sparrow worth only half a penny can fall to the ground without You knowing it. And the very hairs on my head are all numbered. Lord your love for me is greater and more valuable than a whole flock of sparrows. Thank You. Amen
