He created us unique individuals with unique dreams for this world. He loved us. He provided for us. He died for us. He redeemed us if only we accept. He took on our pain and continues to take on our pain.
This week has been a huge heavy fog for me. I felt like I was sliding backwards. Everything around me was chaos. I was quite frustrated. I felt closed off from His Voice and it was my own fault even though it seemed others where pushing me. The weekend was such a relief to feel good and more focused. But it is Easter and nothing profound seemed to be Spoken...
Wait .... maybe He is speaking about pain. How Jesus has felt every pain we humans face every day. He knows all too well. I am seeing and understanding clearly how He has felt separation, divorce, absence ... you name it, He has felt it.
So what does His Pain mean? And what does it have to do with Easter? Jesus went through intense pain spiritually, emotionally, and mentally in the Garden ... so much so it caused physical pain. Then He had to indure physically torture beyond our imagination to redeem us. Then Easter came. That is our Hope and our Horizon when we endure this earthly pain. No matter what form it takes, our hope is in the Lord.
