You know what else He felt? As an innocent victim of all that sin placed upon
Him, He felt the pain you felt when your parent rejected you. He felt the pain
you felt in that horrible, dark, trauma that you never talk about. He felt every
single pain you feel. He LITERALLY bore your grief and carried your sorrow.
And He did it to provide you with a way out of your pain.
The path He walked was not quick and easy. And the path He has for you to find
healing is not a quick and easy one. But He promises to walk WITH you at every
step -- and that is the whole point anyway. When Jesus said He calls us His
friends, He means it. Is Jesus literally your friend? He wants to walk with
you through each day and he wants to converse with you about your hurts. Yes,
he wants to CONVERSE with you about your hurts. You can talk to Him and ask
Him questions, and He will answer back. That's why He sent the Holy Spirit to
be with us. That's why He's given us His Word. He has promised that the Holy
Spirit would be our counselor and lead us into all truth. All we have to do
is ASK and LISTEN.
I see the hurt hidden in your heart. And I know where the answers are because
I've found them myself. But I can't give them to you. I can only point you to
the One who wants more than anything to be your dearest FRIEND and comfort you.
Will you dare to reach out and take His hand? Can you trust Him with the secrets
of your heart? Will you let Him lead you to healing one day at a time, even
though you can't see the tomorrows yet? Will you trust Him when He asks you
to open up the doors of your heart to another person, whom He has waiting to
walk with you "with skin on"?
God wants to heal your wounded heart. The question is only whether you will
let Him.
