HIDING THE PAIN

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Revelation 21:4 KJV

Once when I was at the store, it started raining.  People were waiting for it to stop raining to go outside to their cars.  They began to talk to each other.  The thought came to me that if it had not been raining they would never have talked to each other.  It took rain to get people talking to each other.

It is very risky and scary to tell others how we feel emotionally for fear of being judged, ridiculed and scorned.  How sad it is that instead of people hugging us and telling us they care, they say “there is always someone hurting more than you”.  That is true but it doesn’t take our pain away.

If your heart is breaking today because of cruel and sarcastic words that have been said to you, tell Jesus.  He understands because people also said cruel and sarcastic words to Him.  He sees into your heart and He sees the pain that you keep hidden.    Jesus loves you and is longing to comfort you.  

He will pick you up and carry you through the dark valley and set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.  He has promised that He will never leave us (Hebrews 13:5).  Jesus knows how it hurts to have a broken heart and He understands and cares when our heart is breaking. 

Jesus is still being hurt today because people won’t open the door of their heart and let Him come in to be their Saviour.  It’s time we make Him happy by serving Him.  Are you making Him happy by serving Him or are you breaking His heart?
