John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
I find a lot of comfort in John 1:14. There is a lot of meaning behind the fact that God came to us. Jesus was here on Earth. He didn’t just appear for a while and then disappear. Nope, He was born and grew up here in human form. He became flesh AND dwelled among us. He experienced everything we humans experience every single day. He felt the emotions we go through. He learned what hunger, anger, frustration, fear, and sorrow felt like. He can honestly say, been there done that, and bought the t-shirt!
So, why is this so comforting to me? Easy, when I talk to him about anything, He knows where I am coming from AND feels it too. He is not some alien who has no idea what I am talking back. He can show empathy and not just sympathy. He understands me. He gets me!
When you pray and take your problems to Jesus, know that He gets you. He is not just a person sitting on some thrown far away. Nope! He has been in your shoes and seen your problems. As a matter of fact, He is stepping right along with you in your shoes now. You are not alone. You won’t carry these burdens alone anymore!
Lord, thank You for walking in my shoes with me. It means so much to me that You get me! ~amen
