Have you ever cried out to Jesus, or God, in your darkest, most soul-wrenching moments?
Have you ever felt His love seep into your soul, bringing that peace that only He can give in moments of unrest?
Do you know that Jesus loves you more than you can fathom? More than any parent can…more than any spouse can.
He knows the very depths of your being, He knows your heart, your motives; He knows the true you, the one without any masks. And He still loves you more than you can fathom.
We can depend on Him. He is always with you, if you’ve asked Him to live inside of you, so He knows everything you’re going through. He cries with your defeats, His heart hurts when you are broken-hearted, He feels the pain when you are not treated as you should be.
I’ve gone through times like that, when I was so broken-hearted that all I could do was sob out His name: Jesus! And in the midst of my cries for help, He has tenderly held me, seeping His love into my heart. It didn’t make the pain go away, but somehow it became more bearable knowing that He was in it with me.
I would like to challenge you to do the same. Next time you are particularly broken over something, instead of planning revenge or being angry, cry out to Jesus to love on you, to fill you with His Spirit and His love. He will do just that. Sometimes, if you let Him, He will also help you to see how He feels about what you’re going through. That could be a revelation in itself!
Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm 341:24 NKJV
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord! Psalm 27:13+14 NKJV
