Jesus Sees You
I talk to many JOY99 listeners dealing with several different tough, daily issues. Here are 5 that I often see:
Things that cause debilitating pain: arthritis, fibro malaysia, migraine headaches, joint pain, etc.
Issues that cause severe emotional and psychological pain: divorce, the death of a loved one, or job loss, broken relationships
Persistent worry about finances, safety, or work .
A lack of social support
Repetitive, nagging issues like managing home upkeep, laundry, and constantly changing schedules.
Do you see a pattern with each of these groups? They're all uncomfortable situations. Especially, when we don’t have answers.
In John 9, there is a story of a man blind from birth. Jesus heals him. The religious leaders scoffed and questioned Jesus. And, sadly, the man's parents wouldn't even defend their own son. But, Jesus did.
That simple, "Jesus gesture" is something we can all learn from. And, something we can hold onto in the issues we face daily. We see problems. Jesus sees people.
I want to be like Jesus, don't you? We don’t have to have all the answers to the problems of life. But, knowing that Jesus sees us helps through the tough seasons of life.
What is the issue you are facing today? Remember, while we see the problem, Jesus sees YOU.
