God truly UNDERSTANDS

image

This post is kind of a continuation of my last post. Last night, during the discussion, my friend said something that I found myself musing about. She said, “God understands everything that we experience.” I didn’t think much about that statement when it was made because at that point I kept thinking about how lonely I felt and how people always seemed to want something from me but never truly need me.

As I was walking to work this morning, God reminded me of something. He reminded me that He has experienced that feeling for thousands of years! When Jesus was on earth, people flocked to Him, not because they needed Him for Him but because they wanted what He could give them. The healings, the fish and bread, etc. These were the same people who yelled that He be crucified!! The same ones He had helped and who had followed Him around daily for some reason or another, wanted Him dead for no reason at all.

Even today, He is not sought for Him. Many of us seek Him for the house that He will bless us with, the car, the husband, the healing, the job, the education, the material things…. Even I on occasions have been guilty of seeking Him for the wrong reasons. Some of us are still the same ones who deny and crucify Him afresh with our actions, words and deeds.

I was again awed and amazed. He truly understood what I had been feeling. He had already been touched with the feelings of my infirmities.

As I am writing this, the Lord reminded me of one more thing. He reminded me of my daily Bible reading for Sunday (I didn’t read it until Monday):

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:15

With that reminder, my Father, had already reassured me before I even realized that I needed reassurance. He had already comforted me before I realized I needed comfort. God truly does understands and have your back. My Father, Daddy Jesus, cares.

XOXO,
Chañel.

I am a dynamic young lady who loves the Lord and seek to have a joy that no one can take away. My all-time favourite thing to do is gaining discoveries by design from My Father during our time each day. Reading, learning and trying new things falls behind in a close second place. My dream is to use my God-given talents to positively impact as many people as possible. As a proud Wolmerian, with a zest for life, I adhere to the “Age Quod Agis” motto in that whatsoever I do, I always do it to the best of my ability.

    Do You Feel Accepted or Rejected?

    I went to bed, pulled the covers over my head, and had a big ole pity party. Once again, I had been rejected…come in second place…told I wasn’t quite what “they” were looking for. The scarlet letter loomed large. It wasn’t an A like Hester Prynne’s in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book I had read in high school, but a big fat R that I chose to wear when life turned ugly. Read more...

    Sleeping and Waiting

    Sleep is crucial to our health. It’s our body’s time to restore itself and make sure we’re ready for the day ahead! Waiting, in a way, is like the “sleep” portion of our faith. While we wait, God works. And imagine all the incredible work He’s doing!
