THE SYMPATHETIC CHIEF PRIEST 🥺- When No One Else Understands.
…Better than your understanding boyfriend or girlfriend 😌…
Have you ever been in a position where you feel so empty and weighed down, and you need someone to talk to so badly, before you seemingly explode_ only to find no one around… ?
Or there was an urgent need for you to express yourself, freeing yourself from the cage of your mind, but even your best friend just doesn't understand…😞
Or perhaps, you have been in a situation where something happened or someone accused you wrongly, and you're trying so hard to explain yourself, but no one seemed to get you. Then you had no choice but to sit all alone, keeping all to yourself, being sad and moody, till sleep finally came in… 🤧
Yes. That feeling of isolation and loneliness, even in this densely populated world 💔.
So many times, I find myself in this scenario, and I usually end in a small space directly outside of my hostel, that I carved out for myself _ my library, all by myself 🌚.
That was the case this fateful night, when my friends got to know that my parents were not aware of a decision I had made. It was a tug-of-war, as I tried explaining my reasons, but they did not in the slightest get my point. It felt like shouting underwater, while they were above, trying to hear me, but my voice couldn't reach 🥺.
I was frustrated, tired, discouraged—it was not the first time this had happened, and I just gave up. “Please, you guys should just leave me alone! Leave me! If you don't understand, let me be!" I shouted as I stormed out.
Retreating to my library, I did what I always do. “Why can't they just listen? Why can't they see things from my point of view? Is it that difficult to understand that I have my reasons?? Whyyyy 😭! I mean, I'm human and I need someone who understands my weaknesses and help me. Why should I have no one to stand by me at this point?”
Sometimes, I cry. Other times, I just go to bed in that sullen mood. And it kept happening—not just in that situation, but in others too.
For some people, these feelings lead to drinking, partying, or drugs; some even resort to violence, and eventually, depression sets in. Worst of all, a few may turn to suicide, feeling no one could ever understand them 💔.
But one day, while reading God’s love letter to me, I came across a passage that changed—and continues to change—my life:
“Jesus, our great priest, understands us. He knows how weak we are. He knows that sometimes we want to do the wrong things. The Devil tried to make him do all those same kinds of wrong things. But Jesus never did anything wrong.” Hebrews 4:15 EASY

Isn’t that comforting 🥺? To know someone has gone through what you’re going through, has felt what you’re feeling, and yet succeeded? Later on, I thought, even if they seemingly understood me, they might not be able to give me the right advice or lead me in the right direction. But Jesus can do that perfectly.
Right then and there, I began telling him how I felt.
When I tried to achieve something and failed, and no one understood…
When I had conflicts with others, and no one saw my side…
And so much more.
He has truly helped me, and I’ve written this in my diary, hoping it will help you too.



What an amazingly sympathetic chief priest 🥰…
He’s waiting for you to tell him how you feel. He’s been through it all and emerged victorious—why not let him help you too?
He understands, so let him guide you.
He sees the end even before the beginning, so let him spare you the stress of seeking help and understanding from everyone else.
Come boldly to HIM, and receive wholeheartedly, the help and grace needed for you to thrive 🤗.
Jesus gets me
Thanks for sharing this lovely piece
I definitely needed to read this TODAY. Jesus has been teaching me not to be offended when others don’t understand. I believe sometimes He puts us in positions to be misunderstood, even by the people closest to us, so that we can be completely dependent on Him. Thank you for sharing this revelation 🫶🏽
