Joni
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,
