God knows

In the midst of the busy lives that we live, as people walking with God, we all have had our moments when we wonder if our God in the heavens actually knows what we're going through here on earth! These moments become even more intense when we hurt so much deep within our hearts! We would go to great lengths to stop the intense pain in our hearts!

Then we are left wondering, "Does God really care about me? God said that He'll never ever abandon me! But I feel so abandoned by God and so alone! Why wouldn't God help me?"

Whether we are a student or a working adult, I'm sure we've had our fair share of intense pain in our hearts. And as always, the thoughts of whether its really worth to walk this path with God! For some of us, the pain becomes so painful, that we even have thoughts of whether its worth to be alive. But is God really with us in those times? Does he even care?

And as I reflect abit more upon this, I am so sure that God is much much more sadder to see us feeling this way. God has done everything by always assuring us through his Word that he'll never abandon us! But in times of pain, we feel and sometimes conclude that God has abandoned us! In those times, I think God even cries to see us that way. I think God even wants to come right down from the heavens to wipe away the tears from our eyes and also take away the pain within our hearts! But God knows that when we get through the storms in our lives, we will be stronger in our faith! There will never be anyone walking with God that would declare that the storms in his/her life haven't made him/her stronger now! They would instead declare that, "It is because of the storm in his/her life that they are still walking with God!" They will declare 7 acclaim that they now see God so amazingly present in the midst of the storms! But God also know how much we can withstand in our storms and he knows what our limits are! When we reach our limits, God will never forget to send us people to help us along the way to find our feet again.

Even Jesus felt so abandoned on his road to Calvary. As he was carrying the cross, everyone insulted & spat on him. And when he fell from carry his cross, I'm sure he felt helpless, but then he saw his Mother, Mary. And just when Mary came to Jesus to wipe his face, jesus soon realised his purpose in suffering so that all may receive redemption from their sins! Through that and the many other people like Simon who carried Jesus' cross! For God knew Jesus limit too and came to his aid by sending people to remind him of God's presence!

God knows what we always go through in our lives. He knows all of intense moments of pain & hurts. He knows every time we cry and seek for help! He also knows what we need in those moments of pain. God always has our best interest at heart even when it doesn't seem like that at all. We are called to embrace those moments of intense pain and unite our sufferings with Jesus' wounds!

Romans 8:18

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us!"

Hebrews 4:16
"Let us then approach the Throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need"

My prayer at this moment for all suffering, is to recognize God in the midst of this difficult time of pain! Your call is to embrace this moment and have little faith that God knows what he is doing! Trust him for God Knows!
