Drinking From His Cup of Sorrows

Drinking from his cup of sorrows Written By, Dean Masciarelli Tuesday, August 23, 2011 When we face trials; and were overwhelmed by sorrows; And we feel like tortured prisoners; Because of all of the challenges; We don’t expect that anyone will understand our feelings; More or less all of our emotions But Jesus does; because he faced many trials; and afflictions; up until his last and final hours; That were far more overwhelming than anyone of ours; Because his cup was overflowing to the brim with sorrows And when his beads of sweat had fallen to the ground it was like blood flowing from his eyes Because of his deep felt sorrows And that’s why he reminds us; be not afraid for he is with us; Through all of our troubles; even in our deepest and darkest hours; when death seems to be knocking on our doors; So that we can understand that we can rise above all things ;by drinking from his cup of sorrows; so that we can enjoy an over abundance of his love and an eternity of everlasting happiness and joys.
