No matter what we go through, it is not bigger than God's love for us. Nor is it something God has not already dealt with in other souls millions of times. The devil always tries to make us think that we are different. He tries to make us believe that we are alone in our pain, that even God wants nothing to do with this mess that is our lonely life. The liar! The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that Jesus went through every possible emotion, loneliness, and temptation to fear that we could possibly face. Gethsemane is one such moment. We must not be islands in our own minds. We must fight the culture of "Ipod, Imac, Iphone, I, I, I, I." Once again, we are being lured into a world of self and we like it. We must remember the Saints that have gone before us and are now cheering us on. We must call upon their prayers! How prideful and arrogant not to do so. They are with Jesus, they are worshipping the Father, and they care about us! It only makes sense that when someone has entered into the presence of the Ancient of Days and filled with He Himself, that they are immediately filled with His love and concern for those still struggling here below. WE are family in Christ.
