John 11- Jesus Wept

“Jesus wept.”

-John 11:35

I have gone through some hardships in my life.  There have been times when I felt all alone.  That nobody understood my hurt.  I remember when my wife and I suffered a miscarriage, my father wrote us a simple card that said when you cry Jesus cries.  It was interesting reading this verse and imagining Jesus in all his power and all his knowledge, weeping.  This is the most powerful being in the world and he was crying at the death of his friend. 

It blows my mind to think that somebody so powerful, so wonderful, so important would care about me and my hurt.  It is so wonderful to know that such an awesome God will actually weep when you are hurting.   Now I know that when I am sad, when I cry, I don’t cry alone.

Thank you God for caring about me and all those around me.
