God In the Dark

When I was hurting and all alone, I heard God crying with me.

"When someone is hurting or brokenhearted, the Eternal moves in close and revives him in his pain."

Psalm 34:18 (VOICE)

In the times of greatest loss and darkness, the world can feel so empty and cold. We can feel like a shell of our former self, or like we are in a dark pit  from which we'll never escape. We can feel nothing will ever be happy or light again. But when we are at the lowest point in our lives, He is there, sitting with us in the darkness. He is simply there for us in any way we need Him to be.  And He will be there whether we 'feel' His presence or not. Whatever we do feel, He will feel it with us, He will understand us, He will hold us. He will hold us up when we have no strength. He will carry us when we think we cannot make it one more moment. He will cry with us every tear we cry, because He is the Love that weeps with those who weep. And somehow He'll be even closer to us in the dark times, closer to the broken-hearted, closer to the lonely and forlorn. He won't let us go. He will support, carry and strengthen us. He will comfort and tenderly care for us. He will keep us close to His heart. And He will bring us through!

A Thought: He comforts me. He understands.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
