There is something about being with someone who understands. Someone who’s been through that same thing you have. There is a look that passes between two people who’ve walked the same thing – horrific to hilarious or anything in between – that no words can bring depth to. It is already known through and through.
Have you been beaten, bruised, brutalised?
– so has He.
Have you been ignored, overlooked, forgotten?
– so has He.
Have you been betrayed?
– so has He.
Have you been ridiculed?
– so has He.
Have you been left for dead?
– so has He.
Have you been lied to, lied about – or even ‘truthed’ about in malice?
– so has He.
Have you been ripped by an early death?
– so has He.
Misunderstood – misrepresented – misquoted?
– so has He.
Have you left home for love?
– so has He.
Cried for love?
– so has He
Died for love?
Reach, recieve and pivot
– at the Cross
– through the Cross
– because of the Cross
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross! Philippians 2:5-8
