Would you agree there is a huge difference when someone says “I know how you feel or I feel your pain” and when someone says outright “I know what you’re going through because I’ve been there!” Of course, the ability to make a mutual emotional connection in an experience is invaluable in the healing process; it also provides an amazing degree of comfort knowing that it’s not just you going through whatever it is.
As a “baby Christian” or an immature long-time believer, sometimes we feel a disconnect between us and Christ or God; especially in terms of worldly emotions, often associated around the negative. Some people wonder if God knows how we actually feel, after all there is no pain in heaven, He has everything; everything belongs to Him. He knows everything; He is all-knowing, He doesn’t struggle; He is all powerful and cannot fail.
Sometimes it can be implied that God has, what could almost be referred to as inexperience, in loss of a loved one, hurt, want, regretting something, temptation and most of all, the feeling of being alone or abandonment.
If our relationship with Christ isn’t where it should be when we go through Earthly trails, it’s really hard to deal with them and still connect with Christ to further and deepen our relationship with Him. This creates a cycle, where the lack of connection or communication with your struggles hinders your relationship because it raises questions, and those questions lead can often lead to doubt or a barrier. I have news for you, God has experienced all of the above, and in ways far greater then we as humans ever can!
Each day we are going to go over some of the difficult experiences, and show that whilst you might feel alone or that Christ doesn’t understand exactly what you’re going through, supernaturally, He has been there, and knows how YOU feel.
