Temptatus | Tested

" Because he, himself was tested through what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested." - Hebrews 2:18

How can a person tell his or her experiences of being loved if in their whole life it was just suffering that they experienced. How would Jesus help us, who are undergoing trials, if Jesus had never suffered any trials? The development and changes in one's life come because of the frequent experiences, obstacles, and trials it faces. These are the colors that give the meaning of true love and a sacrifice. 

" Because he, himself was tested through what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested." As we reflect on this sentence, we should be grateful and glad that no trials cannot be accomplished. No obstacles we cannot pass through if we always believe in Christ's love and sacrifices. Christ himself was tempted and He won over everything because of His great love for us. Death means nothing at all to Him , even though He had to humble himself a little lower than angels to rescue us who sometimes have lack of faith. 

Maybe we have heard of a song called "True Colors". For me, this song has a deep meaning - a resolve to stay calm and not to flee away when trials come. A call for us to be bold in expressing the true colors of God's love, a sincere cheerful smile, and our trust in the Lord. We must courteously abandon our egos, all our anxieties, and all our intentions that go against the will of God.  This is the cross of love that we must bear. The Lord Jesus always reminds us to trust and just call Him up, because He is always there to lighten the burdens of our lives.
