Psalm 31:7, I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, You have seen my troubles, and You care about the anguish of my soul.
One thing that I am learning is when I look at my sorrows and never look at God, my sorrows can seem unbearable, but when I look at God I get strength. For example I have just lost a beloved pet, some people might think, only a pet I have lost a beloved person, so have I! But just right now it is a pet and I have been crying uncontrollable tears over him. I asked God what can I learned from this, and then I started thinking about the tears that Jesus is crying over His lost children. If we never feel pain we would not know what pain is. Even though our pain is so small compared to God's pain, it gives us some kind of understanding about God's love for us. An example, if we have never been belittled or been betrayed by people, we would have very little compassion for Jesus when He was betrayed by Judas and belittled by all the soldiers and by all the people that was there, while He was being crucified for us. If we have always been loved by the people we love, we would not know what the pain feels like being unloved, so therefore we cannot even begin to understand the pain Jesus feels when the people He loves so passionately, do not love Him back. Especially after all that He has done for them. Like paying the full price for the ransom of their souls, so that they may enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven, for the whole of eternity with Him, which none of us deserves. I believe without doubt the more sorrows we experience in life, providing we rely on Jesus to get us through, the better our understanding is of the suffering Jesus went through for us. Of course our hearts are no way near as big or as pure as His heart is, but I believe out of all the people in this world, the ones that love Him the most, are the ones that has suffered the most. Suffering can do two things, it can hardened your heart or soften it. If you do not unit your sufferings with Jesus's love I believe it hardens it. The good news is, it is not all suffering. We also experience the joy of the Lord, which the world can never receive, because they do not know Him and do not follow Him. It is only reserved for people who love Him and follow Him. People of the world have only got the things of this earth, which is so unstable, short lived and full of insecurities. They are always afraid it will be taken away from them. God's children on the other hand, look forwarded to Jesus taking us home, where we can live in love, joy and peace for eternity. And we know while we on this earth we are not alone, we have God to help us. God has also has given us many
things on this earth to enjoy. Start counting them, you will never be able to finish counting them.
I believe that Christian don't often think just how powerful their prayers can be, so they pray for small things and only for people they know. I believe in praying big because I know God wants to do great things through us.
