Does Jesus Feel Your Pain?

DOES JESUS FEEL YOUR PAIN?

Sometimes we find ourselves in one of the most difficult situations in life when we feel rejected, exploited, abused, abandoned, and hopeless. In moments like these, regardless of how much help we receive from loved ones, we still don't believe that there is a light down the tunnel. With no glimpse of hope around the corner, we gradually start to convince ourselves with one simple affirmation, "I am done for good; I don't see a way out of this. I am completely screwed." What we fail to understand is the Biblical truth that as much as we have given up on ourselves, God on the other hand will never forget our pain. He sees everything, He understands what we are going through, and He is always in charge of the storm that brings us to our knees. When we exhaust all available options of solution to no avail, it is an indication that whatever we are going through is nothing but a test of our faith in God through Jesus Christ. While on the cross, God stripped His son Jesus Christ of all supernatural options to save himself from the agony of the cross. God did it because it was a true test of faith for His only son. By the same implication, inherent in every true Christian, is the seed of "A True Test of Faith".


One of the most interesting qualities of God in relation to every storm we face in life is that when He allows us to go through difficult times, it is only because He wants to strengthen us by testing our patience and faith in Him. The Bible teaches in Matthew 15:29-39 that when Jesus fed four thousand people, the crowd had been with him for three days without food. Notice that even though the people were very hungry as Jesus shared their pain, at no point did they cry out to Jesus for food to eat. They were more interested in the teachings of Jesus Christ to the point where they forgot that they needed food. They knew that Jesus was capable of taking care of their needs and that includes food. Their priority was to seek first the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ; after spending three days with him, Jesus knew that he had to find a way to feed them.


The Bible teaches that after Jesus miraculously fed them, his disciples picked up seven basketfuls of leftover food. You and your loved ones may be going through what you consider to be the worst moment in your life; I want you to know that Jesus has his eyes on you and he will never forget your pain. He also knows that you have an urgent need that requires his attention. Don't give up on God because He will never give up on you. When your deliverance comes, you will also pick up basketfuls of leftovers to take care of your loved ones. "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34. In desperate moments, your prayers are not answered because you cried out to God; your prayers are answered because God through Jesus Christ shares your pain.

God bless you and peace be with you in Jesus name,

Amen - Amen and Amen.
