Jesus Knows Our Hurts
I realize that it has been about two months since I wrote on this blog. I changed jobs with the agency I work with from an intensive in home team lead to outpatient therapist around the beginning of August. I have been trying to build up my case load and get to know my new clients the last two months. I have been continuing at times my study into Romans and found a passage in Romans that struck me as interesting. In my work as a therapist, I meet people who have experienced intense rejection. Parents who neglect their children or children who have experienced trauma. It is unfortunately more common than you may realize. What I found from my reading in Romans 10:13-21 is that the Lord Jesus has also experienced rejection. He can understand us and minister to our hurts and dark places because he has been there. Not only that, but as the perfect son of God He did absolutely nothing to deserve it. Unfortunately, this rejection of the Lord runs throughout scripture.
