One of the worst things about this virus is that people have to die alone. Their loved ones are not allowed to be with them to bring them comfort. They can't be with them to kiss them goodbye. They are isolated from love. And that is heart breaking. Even without death, having to struggle for life separated from those you love is horrendous to think of - especially so when children are the ones infected!
It reminded me of something - especially pertinent at Easter time. That cry from Jesus as he died on the cross. "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?" Jesus had never, ever been apart from his Father in his whole life. His Father was his strength and joy. But while he wore our disease in his final hours, his Father could not get near him. He had to stand back and let it happen! Jesus died alone. And it broke his heart. And he did that for you. And for me. To give us the healing we needed to be free of that disease! "Greater love hath no man..." ❤️
