Companion in Pain

You have been scorned and rejected, but so have I. The ones I loved the most betrayed and abandoned me. No depth of human rejection can compare to what I felt when I carried the rejection of mankind. I understand. I am God, but I have a human heart.

Although you may despair, rejoice that we have suffered together, companions in pain (Philippians 3:10). Count the blessings that come from the pain and make them your focus. Make Me the center of your interest, knowing that I have felt what you feel now—the same yet with greater intensity. I am not asking you to do anything that I have not done.

It is God who justifies you; who then can condemn you? (Romans 8:33–34)

With love beyond measure,

Jesus

About the Author

Cyndi is a Christian writer with a heart for grace and freedom in Christ. Through fresh reflections and scripture‑rooted devotionals, she invites readers into rest and relationship. She longs for those who see themselves only as “sinners saved by grace” to know they are truly good in Christ, and for those who strive and battle, to hear that the fight is finished. Her writing is shaped by the promise from Isaiah 40:1–2 — God’s call to “Comfort, comfort My people with gentle, compassionate words. Speak tenderly from the heart to revive those in shame, and proclaim that their warfare is over. Their debt of sin is paid for, and they will not be treated as guilty. Prophesy to them that they have received from the hand of God twice as many blessings as all their sins” (paraphrase from TPT). She lives in Florida with her husband of 37 years and their dog, Smudge.
