Jesus Wept

Scripture: John 11:35 Jesus wept

Observation: This scripture shows how much Jesus cares for us. In my life I wonder how many times I hurt and disappointed God. My tears however were usually for myself whether pain or discouragement. I disregarded Jesus most of my life and hurt others yet instead of revenge, Jesus gave me mercy and grace and brought me in. Now when I weep, I can weep for others with a heart closer to my Lord’s.

Application: To have more compassion for others to be able to see their pain and to be able to do something to help.

Prayer: My Lord give me a heart like yours that I will take the focus off me and look to the needs of others.
