This is day 90 of a 180 day sabbatical. I guess that means I am at the half-way point. I am wondering what God might choose to reveal. Actually I am deciding to wait patiently on the Lord, allowing Him to take charge of our relationship. Waiting seems to put me in a dangerous place of enemy attack. Struggling to be quiet while fighting Satan's schemes on my emotions and thoughts can take it's tole.
I have heard of many fighting their own battles. Many are my friends. Some are acquaintances. All are struggling just to make it through the day. The pain of loss is overwhelming many right now. Isaiah 53:4 says, "Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows...He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."
If this scripture is true (which i believe it is), then we cannot entertain the idea that no one understands us. If no one on this planet seems to understand and feel what you are experiencing, you can be guaranteed that Jesus does. You can look into the truth Jesus gave us and know you are understood and loved right in the middle of pain, confusion, suffering and yes in the middle of your sin. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can change this or take away His love, compassion, care, kindness or goodness from you.
If you are hurting right now, I would urge you to crawl into Jesus lap, allowing Him to hold you. If you are celebrating, run into His arms and party. If you are somewhere between on an ordinary day, walk with Him in contentment.
He is right here, right now.
