In the Shoes of Jesus (Your Love)

context: there were these 2 nights that i felt so down and disillusioned.. past hurts and failures came back and i felt so down... I cried the first night.... the second night, I cried out to the Lord.. Then all of a sudden, I was brought to scenes of JEsus' life... I felt like I was walking in His shoes... I could feel what he felt, see what he saw...

Indeed Jesus walked where I walk.. I am saddened by friendships; JEsus was betrayed.. Jesus was abandoned by his closest companions... I feel lonely at times; JEsus was alone... I sometimes feel like my problems are overwhelming; The whole world was upon His shoulders....

So i questioned the Lord, how was JEsus able to do it? It made me think, what would Jesus do? How would Jesus feel? As I placed myself in the shoes of Jesus, through the period of betrayal, beatings, hanging on the cross, it was a stark realisation that only one thing remains - my Father's love.. Through it all, Jesus rests in the truth that God the Father is with Him - He sees what is happening and knows what is to come... Above all, God loves him, and that is enough...

In the Shoes of Jesus (Your Love)

Why do I feel this way
What can I do
How can I see Your plans
When will I breakthrough

Lord help me find a way
Reveal to me Your will
Teach me to always ask,
"What would Jesus do?"

In the shoes of Jesus
I know I am God's son
With the Love of my Father
I'm sure I'll carry on
When troubles overwhelm me
When fear grips my heart
I'll know, I'll trust
My Father's Love

Your love..Heals me and forgives me
Your love.. Fulfils my destiny
Your love..Your love overwhelms me
Your love.... I'm loved.
