286. He Cares About Your Pain



What does it mean when you hurt and no one cares? You know what I’m talking about, right? Something happens to you that gets you down or breaks your heart and everyone else in the world is just going about their day without really noticing that you’re in pain. Although you look okay on the outside, you feel like everything is caving in. It’s easy to feel alone in this world. Everyone has problems of their own to deal with and some people in your life really don’t want to hear about your hurt. Either they don’t care or they just don’t have time to deal with it. Some folks are so entrenched in their own battles that even though they love you, they simply don’t have the energy to give to the healing of your pain. The thing is, even when you feel utterly alone, you’re not actually alone. Jesus loves you, knows you completely and cares about the fact that you are struggling. One time, a guy’s mother-in-law was really sick, so they told Jesus about her pain. The Scripture says that when Jesus heard, He went to her. When He hears about the trouble in your life, He’s right beside you. You can’t see Him or hear His voice, but He lives in your heart and never leaves you alone. He cares about and responds to your pain. Psalm 56 says that the Lord keeps our tears in a bottle and that He keeps a record of our pain on a scroll. When you think no one cares, Jesus cares. Even when you think you’re alone, He’s with you. He’s crying your tears with you and writing down your hurts. You are never alone.
