He Understands

I ask the Father with his great glory to give you the power to be strong in your spirits. He will give you that strength through his Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. I pray that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide, how long, how high, and how deep that love is. Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with everything God has for you. Ephesians 3:16-19
The above Bible text says it all. I encourage you to read it and really let it sink in!

Don't you know that Jesus experienced all that we go through? He knows how we are feeling. He knows the burdens on our hearts because He felt them too. Go to Him knowing that He understand and cares. Go to Him knowing that He will love you and wants you to belong to Him.

Many of us know how to except God's love for us. We know that He loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. Others don't know how to do this. They feel unworthy, unlovable. They think that god is far from them and can't imagine how He would, or could, love them. It is our duty to let them know that He already loves them! He is waiting for them to realize it!
We have a great high priest who has gone to live with God in heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us continue to express our faith in him. Jesus, our high priest, is able to understand our weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in every way. He was tempted in the same ways we are tempted, but he never sinned. With Jesus as our high priest, we can feel free to come before God’s throne where there is grace. There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it. Hebrews 4:14-16
So give yourselves to God. Stand against the devil, and he will run away from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. You are sinners, so clean sin out of your lives.You are trying to follow God and the world at the same time. Make your thinking pure. James 4:7-8
