Recently, I visited a cemetery where members of my family are buried.
A widower helped me locate the headstones. He is very familiar with the grave markers since every day he has his devotional time at his wife’s grave.
He shared with me how he asked God if it was necessary for his wife to die; his prayer had only been for the awful cancer pain to stop. Further, he told God that He did not understand his pain.
God was silent for a day or so and then, God answered him turning the widower’s question back on him.
God said, “Do you understand how I feel? Do you understand my pain?”
Your wife died, but everyday millions of people that I created from My heart of love, die. I see firsthand the consequences of Adam’s disobedience giving Satan authority to exercise his power to kill, steal, and destroy.
And, 24/7, I feel the rejection of billions of people who want nothing to do with Me. I am ever awake, aware and present, feeling their refusal to just try to get to know Me. Do you understand my pain as My heart grieves when I see people, who say that they love Me, inflict pain on those who are not like them, declaring it as being done in My Name?
Do you visualize the tear in My eye ...
This holiday season as we cope with the loss of loved ones and revel in the ones still near, remember God knows exactly how we feel.
