"The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might
know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them."
Isaiah 50:4
In her diary, St. Faustina Kowalska writes how Jesus revealed to her that our lack of trust in his inexhaustible love for us tears him apart. Jesus complained to St. Faustina that even his death on the cross is not enough to convince us of his love.
Let us face it, there are times when we do not believe what God has revealed to us in the Bible and the Church concerning his great love for us in Christ. We really think God's love is too good to be true; therefore, it cannot be true.
In the verse above, Christ says that he knows how to speak a word that will rouse the weary; and this word is his death on the cross. In other words, through his death on the cross, Christ is saying, as loudly and clearly as he can, that God really loves us. If this message does not rouse us from the sleep of unbelief, then nothing will.
May God open our hearts to his unconditional love for us in Christ, so that the chains of our unbelief will be broken, and our hearts will soar with love for Christ.
