He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah 53:3 KJV
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows Isaiah 53:4 KJV
Jesus wept. John 11:35 KJV
I really love the picture and scripture above. I have been going through depression and this really speaks to me that my Savior is acquainted with sorrow and grief. A member of my church family passed away last Friday. I use these words to comfort others as I have been comforted. She was a dear. sweet older woman with adult children. I was one of them through Spirit because I recognized Jesus in her. She radiated the Holy Spirit. I hoped to radiate like she did with Christian love.
Do you know someone who radiates the love and beauty of Jesus? If so tell them your Christian love for them and how you aspire to be like Jesus as they are. People who are Jesus with skin on will enjoy your testimony about them. It will help them know for a fact that Jesus is near.
Read John 11 about the story of Lazarus, his sisters, and his resurrection. This chapter gives us hope that our sweet Evelyn has been resurrected. Her being transferred her into heaven.

Really y’all I’m just another Samaritan woman seeking living water and pouring out where I see need for encouragement. I am 48, mother to four girls ages 16-26, Gigi to the most handsome 2-year-old little boy, Fibromyalgia warrior, minister, writer, and a lifetime learner.
I am writing my first book, slowly but surely, six chapters in, as our blessed first love has called me to share His glory in my story. I feel lost in that familiar desert place, and thankful for the manna that is there miraculously every day. I am overcoming hour by hour the condemning voices of the enemy and learning to love myself. It has been an arduous journey. This wordsmith journey, but so worth it.
I became a licensed minister in 2010. However, I do not currently work in the ministry. I share Christ's love through devotional blogging. I have a degree in Church Ministry, was pursuing my degree in Christian Care and Counseling at Oral Roberts University, but now am pursuing Life Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming Master Practioner Certifications and a business license.
I am a certified women’s biblical counselor through the Extraordinary Women's program at Light University. I am working on their Addiction and Recovery program now too. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment with a wealth of life experiences with which I can minister comfort to others.
I'm a lover of a good book, writing, singing, and music, and my nemesis is the perpetual laundry pile.
Blessings to you and yours,
<3Melinda
