Topic: Jesus Hurts With Us (Part 3 of 4, Bike Riding)

Keeping Our Balance (Part 1 of 4)
When We Fall Down (Part 2 of 4)
Pain Erased (Part 4 of 4)

When my son was learning to ride a bicycle, falling down, and getting hurt during the learning process, my son never knew I was hurting and agonizing with him. He never knew that I desperately wanted to take his pain onto myself so he would not have to go through it. When he finally learned to keep his balance and ride normally I sat on our back steps and watched him ride up and down the sidewalk. He was grinning from ear to ear. I suddenly realized that Jesus hurts with us without our knowing it. Jesus agonizes and winches in pain along with us. Jesus sometimes sits back and lets us shove off on our journey in life knowing full well we are going to experience pain, and if He could, He would take the pain all onto himself. The truth is that He is with us even when we think He isn't. In our darkest hours, He is next to us. In our darkest hours, He is constantly encouraging and supporting us. God knows everything we go through. He knows about every painful moment. While we are struggling and trying so hard to keep our balance and keep the pedals going in our life, we are not conscious of Him or His love for us. Too often, we think we've been deserted with no one to turn to, but He is there all the time.
