Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
Psalm 130: 1
King James Version
I have been taking a stroll down memory lane today, and they were bittersweet memories. Every time I remember and think about this particular event it makes me very happy, but at the same time it also brings tears of sorrow. I shared this with a friend and she was so supportive. I thank God for her because she always points me to the heart of Jesus and His love for me.
Jesus is faithful to take away the hurt from our hearts, but we still have memories that are painful. We have to allow Jesus to apply His soothing lotion of compassion and understanding to our battered and scarred hearts. I cried out from the depths of my heart to Jesus tonight and told Him that I was hurting very badly and would He please comfort me as only He could. What a compassionate Saviour we have!
If your memories are hurting you, cry out from your heart to Jesus. He will be faithful to ease the pain and kiss away your tears. There is no friend like Jesus. He alone can see into our hearts and feel the depths of our pain. I’m sure that He also has memories that hurt Him, memories of an Old Rugged Cross.
