via IFTTT The shortest scripture, but one with a powerful message. Jesus wept. He was so moves, so touched, that tears streamed from those compassionate eyes. Why? He was not weeping for lazurus. He knew that within moments lazurus would be raised back to life. He knew the outcome would be positive. His tears were not about loss, but pain. He felt their pain. He wept because the people He loved we're hurting. Jesus cares deeply. He cares about all that we go through. He feels our each and every pain. He is human. He has the same emotion we do. It hurts to see someone you love hurting. Next time you are hurting, remember that Jesus wept with Mary. He felt her deep pain and experienced the grief she was feeling. He cares about your pain. He feels your pain. Yes He has a plan, yes He knows all will be well soon, but for the moment, He weeps with you because he feels with you. Our son, our stubbornness, out selfish ambition, our rebellion, it all causes pain and suffering. Most of what we suffer is in fact self inflicted. Yet, Jesus still goes through the darkness with us today, feeling our pain, sharing our sorrow. Our rebellion causes Him suffering, just as any good friend hurts when we hurt. Doesn't matter why, doesn't matter who's fault it is. A good friend feels our pain. Jesus is your friend. He already died for you, now He loves with you. He sees every sadness, every pain, and experiences it with us. A better friend we will never find! So give your pain to Jesus! He is there for you. Let his loving arms envelope you, fill you with comfort. And let him raise the dead.
