A dose of Max Lucado for the week:
 
He's Been There
 
Whatever you are facing, Jesus knows how you feel!  He’s been there.

Several years ago, twenty-thousand of us ran through the streets of San Antonio raising money for breast cancer research. Most of us ran out of kindness, a few ran in memory of a loved one, others in honor of a cancer survivor. We ran for different reasons.

But no runner was more passionate than the woman I spotted. A bandana covered her bald head, and dark circles shadowed her eyes.  She had cancer. While we ran out of kindness, she ran out of conviction. She knows how cancer victims feel.  She’s been there.

So has Jesus.  Scripture says, He is able—to run to the cry of those who’re being tempted and tested and tried. When you turn to Him for help, Jesus runs to you to help. Why?  Because he knows how you feel. He’s been there! (Hebrews 4:15).

Whatever you are facing, Jesus knows how you feel!  He’s been there.
