I was loved, but not truly loved. I loved, but not in the right way.
I am loved but I did not understand it. Then the pain came and I understood it.
For in the pain, I was refined and was able to see like never before.
Through heartache, tears, stress, suffering, and loss Jesus became more real.
That's what makes the pain worth it. I am a new person, like the butterfly from the cocoon.
Now it is my time to share my pain so others will learn from it.
The pain from the nails in his hands and feet were nothing compared to His pain, the loss of fellowship with the Father, as part of the trinity.
A separation that He had never experienced before or since.
All to save us so we will never experience the pain of separation he felt.
