Jesus Wept

 Jesus wept.

He did. The Bible says He did. Despite the knowledge He had of the glorious, life-giving end result in the case of Lazarus's death, yet He wept

He was able to connect in spirit with those who were hurting. He was able to feel their pain, to comprehend their plight.

May we like Jesus weep with those who weep.  May our "heart be broken for that which breaks His".

May we allow ourselves to think beyond ourselves, to experience beyond ourselves in a way that others will know that we care beyond ourselves.

We all have days when our skies look dark. When they are dark.  But as many of us live in and try to
"look on the bright side " of life, (by God's grace), may we be aware that there are people who's side of life is really not all that bright.  

Let us take the time to allow ourselves to go there. In our minds, our hearts, our prayers and if and when able...in our own lives. 

May we be attune to the Spirit. When He says "Go", may we go. When He says "Give" may we give. When He says "pray", may we pray. When He says "hurt and weep", may we hurt and weep.

May we ask Jesus daily to conform our heart to be more like His, and may we remember.....

Jesus wept.
