"He Healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
This life is full of sorrow and trial. There are times where we feel like the pain is too much to bear. There can be times where even though we try our best at things, it feels like a salmon swimming upstream and time and time again something comes our way to knock us down. Ever feel like that? Beat up... tattered... and torn?
The beautiful thing is that even in the midst of such difficulties, we are not alone. Even if we feel like we are, God assures us of His Love and Desire to want to heal us and comfort us and carry us through all of that. It's not that these trials and difficulties don't happen. There are things that God does Allow in life that may seem contrary to what we would expect, and by no means does that make light of those difficulties or pretend that everything is just fine when things can be so painful.
But in all these situations, we have a God who DOES care about us, and Promises that in the end all things will be made right. Jesus especially more than anyone Knows what it is like to endure the horrible trials of this world, as no one went through more suffering in this world than Him. But He Overcame it. He Overcame the pain and trials of this world. He Overcame death itself. The Lord Jesus assures us in the Gospel:
"These things I have Spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Indeed though we may go through incredible hardship, or at times feel beat up and tattered like these butterflies, we have a God who is Acquainted with all our hurts and grief.
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not." Isaiah 53:3
There will come a time soon when The Lord Jesus Christ will prove this to all those who believe in Him, and trust in Him, and it will be at that time that all the Devil has thrown at us and attacked us with and battered us with, whether physically or emotionally or mentally or spiritually - you name it... It will all be made right. And we will rejoice with The Lord, refreshed and brand new like none of this pain and hurt ever happened. Oh what a day indeed that will be...
Until next time...
