These are the things that my Savior understood.
He understood what it is like to be unimportant in the world - He had no stately form or majesty that we should look at him.
He understood what it is like to feel ugly and unattractive - He had no appearance that we should be attracted to him.
He understood what it is like to feel desolate and lonely - He was despised and forsaken by men.
He understood what it is like to feel lost, depressed, desperate, and heartbroken - He was a man of sorrows and well acquainted with grief.
He understood what it is like to feel left-out and rejected - Like one from whom men hide their face, he was despised and we did not have any esteem for him.
And yet, it was our weakness he carried - it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sin! But he was wounded for our sins and crushed for our iniquities. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped and we were healed.
From Isaiah 53:1-5
