Pain

We were contacted this week by a friend who is giving a message on God using broken people. She was looking for just a little input on the topic.

Got me thinking.

As I blog now, I am listening to my Pandora station entitled 'Jon Foreman Radio'. Don't really know Jon Foreman well, but heard one song I liked...

You know, most songs today are about the crappy parts of life. Maybe that's how songs have always been.

Chances are, as you read this, you have at least some amount of pain in your life.

And it hurts. It makes you angry. It makes you despair sometimes.

It's life for all of us.

For this reason he was made just like his brothers that he might become a merciful high priest...

During those frequent times of pain, it's good to know that we don't serve a God who only lives in the abstract, but one who lived in the real day to day that we live in and is merciful to us because he understands.
