Your Pain, His Pain

Sunday, December 31, 2023

Scripture says you are Messiah's body. When your body hurts, you feel it; when it's sad, you have tears. If you're His body, then when you're wounded or rejected, He is too. When you're alone, He's alone along with you (so you're never really alone). When you feel unholy and far from God, He feels it too. You're not alone, God isn't distant, He's right there feeling even more than you feel. You don't have to convince Him- He knows your tears already. God is with you so close that He feels everything you do, as close as His body. So be at peace; when you feel far from God, He's feeling it with you. He knows. Start partaking of His nature. As He weeps with your tears, start rejoicing in His joy. Start living holy in His holiness. Become strong in the power of His might, love in His love, and overcome in His victory. You are His body, and that's about as close as you could ever get to Him.
