Just wanted to share something with you guys. Been having a few difficult days, pain and depression etc. Felt pretty beat up, honestly. Just exhausted. And I was laying here... had just finished another mindless movie... a mindless binge of Love is Blind. And you know how sometimes your smart TV will have a "continue watching" section? Well... The Chosen (the story of Jesus in the New Testament) has been up there. And some days are just shitty... and I have to humbly admit that hearing the Good News without entirely feeling it for my situation... is just hard. And just like a few times that I saw The Chosen on my screen. I was like "eh... I don't know" but then I clicked it. I started watching where I left off, season 3 episode 2. It's called 2 by 2. Which is the part of the Bible where Jesus is sending his disciples out to spread His Word. It's a fascinating look into questions and confusion and real fear and insecurity that His disciples must have had when given the task of healing the sick and casting out demons... just as Jesus had. Immediately after that scene... Little James, who has a physical disability and ailment approached Jesus asking Him a very tough question. He's basically saying "Jesus, how is it that you've given me the power to heal but yet... I am broken. I am physically incomplete. I am in pain, Lord." This clip is Jesus' response and I'll be the first to admit... it destroyed me. As soon as Jesus said "I trust you", I KNEW that this message was not only for me... not only speaking directly TO me through a TV show that is a based on the Bible but also based on the Holy Spirit giving humans the vision and creativity to consider the delicacy of humanity in the followers of Jesus, but I also knew that this was a message for you. And you. And you. And anyone who has ever suffered and wondered why God hasn't just taken away the pain. Or the heartache. Or the fear. Or the brokenness. It's a message for anyone who Love God with their whole heart and people see what they are suffering through and ask "WHY HIM, LORD." He is a good and faithful servant to You and yet still... he suffers. And yet still.. He glorifies YOUR Name.
I trust you. You will be healed.
I trust you. You will be healed.
I trust you. You will be healed.
