He Knows

We are comforted by the truth that He knows what is going on in our lives, and as our Father, He cares. But there is another way He knows that we sometimes forget. Been misunderstood--He knows. Been betrayed--He knows, Been exhausted--He knows. Been ridiculed--He knows. Been lied about--He knows. Had conflict with family members--He knows. Been in great physical pain--He knows. Been deserted by friends when you needed them the most--He knows. Been in need of solitude--He knows. Been called paranoid and a fool--He knows. Been doubted--He knows. He just doesn't know what's going on in your life--He's been there. He has felt what you are feeling. He has been touched by our infirmities, our earthly trials and sorrows. In all points. That is why He cries out to his children--"cast ALL your cares on Me. He doesn't say, "Oh, just tough it out." He enters into our struggles and says, "lean on Me, find your rest in me, talk to me about your struggles, I will not be judgmental. I AM the God who listens with a caring heart. The Father knows and cares as every Father does. The Son has experienced what you are experiencing and has empathy for your trials. The Spirit comforts us and guides us and gives us the wisdom we need to count our struggles as pure joy--as a vote of confidence from the Triune God. The Triune God says, "Cast it all on Me. I will bear all things with you. I will be your strong tower and your strength. Yes, He knows.
