Day 3: Jesus Weeps With Us

One of the most profound examples of Christ's heart for us can be found in the story of Lazarus, in verse John 11:35; "Jesus wept."

Jesus knew that Lazarus was soon going to be brought back to life, but the pain of death was still very real, and He wept because of it. The Son of God who chose to give His life for ours, who knew our ins and outs before we were even formed, and who holds our futures in the palm of His Hand, shed tears at the temporary loss of His friend and experienced the immense grief felt by Lazarus' loved ones.

In our mourning, we are not alone. Jesus weeps alongside us in our sadness. Although He knows that hope and renewed joy are up ahead, He is well aware that pain, loss, and grief are all a part of our time here on earth, and He is there in the midst of it all.

You will find your "tribe" of women who can resonate with what you are going through, but no one knows grief more deeply than Jesus, because He feels it all. Seek His comfort today.
