Each Bears a Part of Your Sorrow


It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.

This is part of the hymn "Oh How I Love Jesus" and as we were singing this song as a congregation yesterday at church, I couldn't help but close my eyes for a second and picture this coming to life. I pictured God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, as it says " Who in each sorrow bears a part", just taking the pain, the sorrow, the emptiness that we feel throughout our lives so that we don't have to feel all of it because they know that it would be more than we can bear. In my picture, they were sad and it reminded me of how Jesus wept when he saw Mary and Martha grieving for Lazarus, he felt their pain. And just the thought of a Holy Being feeling sad for someone as worthless as I just brings joy and happiness to my heart. People on earth may not be able to understand all that you're going through, but God can and he does! Isn't that amazing?! We can just praise the Lord some more.
