When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Spiritual sufferings
Inevitably, each and every person goes through sufferings that will weaken them, harden them. We cry out to God for directions, for comfort, for peace. One thing I can tell you, it's God's blessing that we suffer from sorrow. You heard me right. It's God's grace.
Just take a moment to ponder. When exactly are the times that we find ourselves extremely close to God ? No, it's not the times when you're in high spirits, having a crazy time with friends. No, it's not the times when you're in your comfort zone enjoying your favourite hobbies in your hideout. No, it's not the times when you're caught up with your busy schedule and work.
When we're desperate and alone, with broken souls and hearts, we weep so sorrowfully. When it feels like the world is crumbling infront of you, when you're confused and hurt and desperately crying out for help. Now that's when you're closest to God.
It is sad, but true. We don't feel the presence of God as much when we're happy, as compared to when we're sad. So please don't cry. Be strong, because with God, our strength is made perfect in weakness.
"For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ"
2 Corinthians 1:5
Jesus loves you. Treat adversities as blessings from God. He is just pulling you closer to Him, to walk safely with Him. He just wants some time, alone with you. Isn't that just flattering to know ? Someone so glorious and mighty, just wants a moment with an insignificant you, alone. Well, the thing is, He doesn't see you as "insignificant". You ARE great.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for letting us know just how much you treasure each and every one of us, like precious gems. In Your eyes, we soar like eagles, above the storm, with You. Thank you Jesus. Thank you so much.
In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen
