In the musical ,'Miserables', two lines from one of the songs goes,
'There's a grief that can' t be spoken,
Ther's a pain that goes on and on'
Those words,that experience could be written over many peoples lives, the context of those words concern those who died in an uprising against a goverment,The song expresses the feelings of one of their comrades who didn't die,he feels guilt that he hadn't died with them,and now he's left with the grief and pain that will not go away. People die in wars,in accidents,a mother looses a new born baby, and so it goes on.But its not just in relation to death ,marriage breakups that can affect children for the rest of their lives. So many get hurt in many ways that leave them with a grief and pain that won't go away.We forget that we live in a broken world full of broken people.It was never meant to be this way but all changed when sin entered into this world.Job who knew his fair share of troubles wrote,'How frail is humanity!How short is life,how full of trouble! We blossom like a flower and then wither.Like a passing shadow,we quickly disappear'. (Job 14 v 1) One way or another we all will experience pain and grief,that will not leave us. I love those words that Jesus spoke in Matthew 11 v 28,' Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heaven burdens,and I will give you rest'.He alone can only meet the needs of the human heart and give peace,in our sorrows he can be our comforter in our darkest moments, He can be our healer in our grief and pain. .Remember He has walked the road that we are walking and experienced what we are going through,and so He says ,'come to Me.'
'No one understands like Jesus'
