Can they really compare?

Well, back by popular demand...blogging. I know I've left it alone for quite some time, but other things became more important. I will do my best to keep 'em coming. I couldn't let today go by tho' without sharing this video with you. Some of you may have already seen this before...and that's ok. Because it should touch you again. If it doesn't, well, that's really too bad.

We all have a lot of wounds in our lives...some of those caused by our own sin. Many other wounds come from other people. And let's be honest, some of those wounds done to us are to intentionally hurt us. They aren't for good, and are not of God. Our Heavenly Father is a good Father...not wanting to bring harm, but good. We blame Him sometimes, don't we? For the wounds and the hurts done towards us? I've been there. But I don't like that place. It only hurts me and my relationship with God. And watching this video and listening to the words of this song make me realize that my wounds, my scars that may possibly never go away in this life...well, they just really can't compare. They don't compare at all to the wounds that Jesus endured because of.....me. And you. They just really don't. In fact, they are not even on the same level.

So quit your whining, stop your complaining about your wounds, stop thinking how unfair it is (I'm preaching at myself here). As you watch this, and reflect on all that our Savior Jesus suffered through because of us, if this doesn't bring you to your knees in repentance...well then, I don't know what will.
