I just started the New Testament in my read-thru-the-Bible-in-a-year program. And I was quickly reminded of an encouraging Truth.
Years ago I found myself pondering the notion that Jesus understands everything I go through in life. And I began wondering. Began doubting. I mean, how could HE understand me? Jesus was never a mother.
How could He possibly know what it's like to have children needing 'this' and 'that' and don't forget 'the other thing'? How could He really know what it's like to feel so desperate to find time alone? Surely Jesus never wanted to change His name so He could go unnoticed. Right?
Love that HE knows what I'm thinking. And knows how to answer.
In the midst of my questioning, I heard someone speak about Mark 1:21-45.
And I was amazed. Jesus does, indeed, understand what my life as a mother is like!
So as I read this passage again last week, I smiled and said to Him, You do know. Ahhh, Jesus, You more than know!

Good morning Karen! The part about Jesus going off to pray was the first thing I thought of as I was reading this!
I also thought of Hebrews 4:13-16 because it tells us that we have a High Priest who understands our weaknesses and so forth...Karen, Jesus knows very well what we all feel! ;)
smooches,
Larie
Before I even got to the sentence w/ the passages link, I immediately thought of those passages. :o)
He knows exactly how we feel and that makes me trust Him even more.
