God suffers more than just on the cross. Check out these excerpts I pulled from WHAT DOES GOD WANT by Samuel Whitfield.
I think this is all so beautiful
Pg.7: Emotional pain, particularly the kind that comes in broken and strained relationships, is probably the most overlooked classroom in God’s cosmic university.
Pg.7: God has endured more pain than anyone else, and if you want to know God, you must know His pain. If you really want to know Him, He will probably allow you to experience deep pain in one or more of your relationships.
Pg.7 God had been betrayed, rejected, and mistreated. One of God’s most trusted creatures (Satan) corrupted God’s prized possession (man), whom God made for Himself as a wife is made for a husband. When God became a man to secure the love of this “wife” she proceeded to betray, torture, and murder Him.
Pg.7: He knows your pain and He wants you to know His.
Pg.7 Pain is where the most intimate relationships are forged.
Pg.8: God is much more intimate than we think.
Pg.8: We look for Him in dramatic and spectacular moments, but this is only one reflection of His nature. When God became a human, He spent at least 90 percent of His life in the ordinary and obscure because He wanted to. He enjoys the ordinary, mundane, and familiar.
Pg.8: The love of a bride and a bridegroom is a glimpse into the storm of passion in God’s soul. The joy of a newborn infant is a glimpse into the joy of God in His creation.
Pg.8: The satisfaction found in diligent work is a picture of God’s delight in His management of creation. The agony of betrayal is a whisper of what God has suffered from a majestic angel, His prize creation, and what He continues to experience. The burden of caring for others is a small expression of God’s unceasing task of upholding His creation. The pain of suffering and the tragedy of death are a window into God’s own pathos over His creation.
