Your Suffering

April 28, 2014 By Juanita Ryan Leave a Comment

You brought me to your cross,
to your suffering.
I felt your love even then,
poured out for us all.
I wept,
I knelt,
I stood,
I called to you.
My only thought was
to comfort you,
to let you know I was there,
to tell you that I love you.

I stayed
until the vision faded
and you spoke:

“This is how I was with you
in your suffering—
holding you,
loving you,
protecting the deepest
parts of you.
Your love for me
in my suffering
is a glimpse of my love for you
in your suffering.
Trust this love.
Live in this love.
Let this love live in you.”

——

When they came to the place called the Skull,
there they crucified him.
Luke 23:33
