So is all I do is say, "Lord, why am I hiding ?" Not exactly, it is a place to start though. He speaks to me in His word. Today I just tried to dialogue the best I could about what I was feeling.
I began to realize that I was not quite sure how He was feeling about how I was feeling.
Now this is what comes from being raised to always think you were suppose to know what other people were feeling .
It is so hard to stop thinking of God as a person. However, it is becoming easier to know that He is so much better than any person. He would not expect me to guess what He's feeling and do something to make Him feel better.
However I thought, I wonder if He would let me know how He is feeling about what I have been telling Him.
Well, He talks to me in His Word , so I put my Kleenex aside and pulled my Bible to me. I have these pages in the back that is titled, God's answers to man's concerns. So I started looking down the list to see if any of them sounded like my concern. I started reading the different scriptures and began to think if there were any similarities there between those people and me.
Sure enough I came upon a place that sounded like me.
You know people expressed their feelings to Jesus back in those Bible days.
Others told Him how they felt all through the Bible.
Jesus may have been rough and gruff and to the point on many occasions.
But He was also sensitive and caring about people and how situations had caused them to feel. He did not back off and say, "Hey ,look me up when you are through crying." Point being, I do not have to hide from Him anymore.
I maybe very disappointed about some current events that has taken place, to the point of crying.
However, once I felt sure I did not need to hide my tears from Him , that He cared and He understood why I was so disappointed. I sure felt better.
I don't want to hide from Him and I feel sure that you do not want to either.
If I can help you in anyway on your journey, just drop me an e-mail.
Sometimes just having a human ear to hear helps, especially one that knows
Jesus Cares.
