God challenged me to trust him, even in the whirl of my darkened emotions.
I decided to do just that.
And as I prayed and thought this morning, it occurred to me... Jesus understands just what I'm feeling.
He knows what it's like to have that empty, aching void where parental love should be.
What was one of the last things he said?
"Father, why have you forsaken me?"
He knows what it's like to be father-less, and not by your own wrong-doing.
That gave me courage for the day. Just to know that someone else understands and still loves... is enough for now.
