Finally had time to catch on with some sports activities. Thanks to my household. It's just that since I haven't really had a "real" exercise in the past months, i woke up with a sore body, hardly being able to move. I had muscle pains in places I never knew would ache. It would even hurt when I laugh.
Remembering the passion of Christ, I could just imagine the pain our Lord went through. What was even more difficult was that He knew exactly what He will be going through. The prayer at Gethsemane must have been excruciating for Him. Yet, despite of the knowledge of what He will suffer, He still went on with it, telling His angels not to help Him and telling God, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34)."
When I reflect on the pains that I have gone through in my life, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, I think nothing can compare with the sufferings of our Lord. We are even spared of the knowledge of our future sufferings and sacrifices. God prepares us for our life's challenges and won't give us what we can't bear to overcome. He helps us to go from strength to strength by enduring every problem that comes our way.
Lord, may we not forget Your great love for us, made evident by every wound and every drop of blood you gave for our sake. We love you so and we pray that our life's sufferings and sacrifices may lead us closer to You. Amen.
