I am humbled.

Hebrews 4:14-16 states that Christ understands our hurt for He has experienced the very same feelings that you have experienced. Not only that, but that we will find His grace and mercy when we need it most. 


Just the realization that the Holy God of the universe lived a human life like mine, and He felt every emotion that I have felt is overwhelming to me! I feel so humbled...so in awe.


But yet, more importantly, somehow I feel so understood. There is a longing inside all of us to be understood and accepted as we are. To think that the only one who truly understands me fully, and accepts me fully, is God, reassures me and brings me peace and hope. And the courage to move on. 


"So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings that we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it the most." -Hebrews 4:14-16
