Sympathy came out of my own struggles to understand how God's compassion comes to each of us personally. Seeing the tragedy in others lives leads me to wonder how God is exactly at work in our personal struggles. Many times I am encouraged by Heb 4.15, that Jesus completely sympathizes with our weakness in every trial. Such relief and encouragement for faith to know that He always looks up us with compassion and favor.
only you can sympathize truly
knowing
all of me
inside
your heart
you know
the temptation
to look
at myself
and
to hold my own cup
against
you, but
only you can sympathize truly
for you
wore flesh
in
perfection
holding
the spirit of life
inside your chest
you
chose to love
to
be self-less
and
breathe
in
me
renewal
only you can sympathize truly
for you
know dually
both
infinite and me
both
divine and fleshy
you
take form of God
and put it in a box of skin
wear
my limbs
feel
my weakness
know
my temptations
hold
my broken relations
what a
fire you held
when
the world tore your flesh
unleashing
love through God forsaken
my
sin inside of your righteousness
somehow
i die too
despite
my selfishness
and
now i am in love
with
the beloved
in
your grip
held
and known inside my sin
you
know my pain
you
come with compassion
with
nothing to gain
my
flesh in your cross
in
resurrecting pain
you
come in love
and
love me to live again
only you sympathize me truly
