Discomfort?



Noun: discomfort
dis'kúmfurt
An uncomfortable feeling of mental painfulness or distress

So what is discomfort?

is it the feeling that your parents don't understand you?
is it when a dear friend despises you?
is it when you are hurt but you do not want to express it?
or still harder, when you do not know how to express it?
when everyone succeeds in life and your still trailing behind?
when everyone has someone to love but you don't?
when everyone has someone to hold but you don't?
when you are in pain but no one cares to ask you how you are doing?
when the world's too fast to give you a little attention?
when you try your best but still are termed useless?
when you long to talk to someone but they aren't available to talk to?
when you miss something/someone bad but you know you will never get it?

well I thought these were real discomforting moments, until I realized there was one other moment that beats them all. It is being holy and still getting flogged and having every muscle and flesh of your body ripped apart and then made to carry a cross in which you would be crucified and left to die... all of this for someone who doesn't love or care about you at all.

I sometimes wonder what made Him do that?

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

when these questions rumble through your mind...crawl into God's lap, tell him about it all and try listening to Him.
I am sure God will comfort you and you'll feel peaceful.
Try it, always works for me:)

And the first thing I always here Him say is "Fear not,for I am with you"-Isaiah 41:10
