An old proverb says we should not judge others until we have walked a mile in their shoes.
When you are struggling you are often criticized by some who say you should handle it differently. They don’t know, they haven’t walk in your shoes.
Their feet haven’t been where you have walked. They have never sat where you sit.
If you’ve never had children you don’t know what it’s like see them in trouble or face sickness or peril.
If you’ve never been married then you don’t know what it’s like when there is trouble in your home.
If you’ve never experienced the death of a loved one, then you have no idea what it's like to sit on the mourner’s seat at a funeral.
They have not walked in your shoes.
That’s why we love the Lord. He came as a man and faced the same life issues that we face: he was a poor man, who struggled to pay his taxes, didn’t own a home, faced the death of his friends, and was often the target of haters. - He definitely has walked a mile in our shoes.
Hebrews 2:14 says, “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—“
Jesus came to earth as a man and suffered like we suffer, so that he could understand how we feel and deliver us when we are at our lowest.
It's good to know that he has walked a mile in our shoes.
