What we need...

I read this passage this afternoon. I want you to read it, but take your time as you read it:
"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,^[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. ¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. ¹⁶ Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." (Heb. 4:14-16, NIV)

I found comfort in these words today. I don't know about you, but what I need the most is a God who understands me. I need a God who sympathises with me. I need a God who gets me.

this verse tells me that I have one. His Name is Jesus Christ. Jesus understands what I go through. I don't have a god who is way out in left field unable to understand me. The Bible tells me that Jesus knows what I go through, and He is able to help me get through it, because He's been there.
I need someone who will help me, and the bible tells me that I have Someone like that. His Name is Jesus.
Because I have Jesus, I can approach God's Throne to get the help I need. I believe you me, I need the help. God is not a distant God who can't possibly understand what we go through.
He is able to understand what we go through because He himself went through the same thing.

The Bible says: " Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had^[a] the power of death." ( Heb. 2:14, NLT2)

I'm thankful that God knows what I deal with. I'm thankful that God is able to handle what I deal with. He can take care of you too.
