Sorrowful No More


I am tired of SORROW.

It is all around us.

From funerals, to sickness, to disagreements.

I am tired of SORROW.

But I am not the only one

because so is HE,

because HE is the MAN OF SORROWS~

"HE was despised and rejected by men, A MAN OF SORROWS and pain and acquainted with grief; And like ONE from whom men hide their faces HE was despised, and we did not appreciate HIS worth or esteem HIM"*

So if JESUS is the MAN OF SORROWS

then HE knows our SORROWS

and HE wants them all~ "But [in fact] HE has borne our griefs, And HE has carried our SORROWS and pains;"*

And why would HE take all our SORROWS?

And why would GOD put this all on HIS SON~ "Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that HE was stricken, Struck down by GOD and degraded and humiliated [by HIM]"*

And then it all makes sense,

because it was never about HIS SORROWS

because HE made it all about our SORROWS~ "But HE was wounded for our transgressions, HE was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on HIM, And by HIS stripes (wounds) we are healed" *(Isaiah 53:3-5 AMP).

Therefore,

our SORROWS are HIS SORROWS

that HE wears for us

as we continually are

"casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on HIM, for HE cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]"

(I Peter 5:7)

in the here & now

&

then forever more~

"HE will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away"

(Revelation 21:4)

Therefore,

because HE WILL

"YES I WILL" (listen to the song below)
