Walking thru my husbands recent passing and my sons estrangement has me searching the Bible for any and all writings about grief, pain, mourning, etc. Seeing “pained” as it relates to how God saw and still sees his creation stirred my soul in a new way about all of my heartache. He knows the “pain” of his children walking away from Him, just as he understands my pain. Knowing this is one thing, actually understanding the original language brings my understanding to a new level. Thanks for creating a way of seeing the Bible as it was originally intended

What a beautiful way to begin a Wednesday morning!

This touches the purest parts of my heart as I think about my own children, and the nacham that a dad (and mom) experiences.

Such a beautiful picture of our personal Savior who loves deeply. The depth of His grief/comfort draws me closer to Him, causing me to dream of sitting in His lap while His loving arms hug me through sorrow right up to consolation. Thank you for this insight!

Diane, this was breathtaking for me. We always look at these emotions as opposites.

It rounds out a picture of Yeshua that is deeper and fuller than the mind has gone to before or can comprehend. Thank you. Apparently I needed this right now! I am blessed.
