when we are hurting we forget where GOD is and we think HE seems distant or that HE doesn't care. but the fact is HE's there.
look at this. psalm 34.18 (ms), if your heart is broken, you'll find GOD right there; if you're kicked in the gut, HE'll help you catch your breath. GOD is right there with you and HE is aware of your pain.
job 13.27, (ms) says, YOU watch every move i make. nothing escapes HIS eye.
the bible says your very tears, every tear you've cried is numbered. some of you say, "nobody knows what i'm going through." GOD knows and GOD cares.
nahum 1.7 (niv), the LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. HE cares for those who trust in HIM.
we have a sympathetic heavenly FATHER who really cares. your pain matters to GOD. it really does. you can talk to HIM about your hurt. HE wants to help you out.
hebrews 4.16, (ms), so let's walk right up to HIM and get what HE is so ready to give. take the mercy, accept the help.
GOD not only offers us awareness, HE offers us assistance. GOD not only cares about your hurt, HE wants to help you with your hurt. HE doesn't just write you a note, "i'm thinking of you in this time."
GOD wants to strengthen you and give you comfort in your pain.
just a thought from the front porch…
