Jesus wept.

What you are about to read is some powerful powerful stuff. This one devotion (from Max Lucado) is the most important significant devotion Ive ever read. I post and share my devotions all the time, the ones that speak to me. But never has one spoken to my very core as much as this one..in the most needed time. Praying you will take in the truth, goodness and LOVE of our Creator as you read. :)

"He Weeps with Us."
from Max Lucado's book "Grace for the Moment"

"Jesus wept."-John11:35

Jesus...weeps. He sits between Mary and Martha, puts an arm around each, and sobs...

He weeps with them.
He weeps for them.
He weeps with you.
He weeps for you.

He weeps so we will know: Mourning is not disbelieving. Flooded eyes don't represent a faithless heart. A person can enter a cemetary Jesus-certain of life after death and still have a Twin Tower crater in the heart. Christ did. He wept, and he knew he was ten minutes from seeing a living Lazarus!

And his tears give you permission to shed your own. Grief does not mean you don't trust; it simply means you can't stand the thought of another day without the Lazarus of your life. If Jesus gave the love, he understands the tears. So grieve, but don't grieve like those who don't know the rest of this story.

YA'LL!!!! Can I just say WOW!!!!! Honestly, leaves me completely speechless!!!! Im in the process of writing my latest 'update' blog and its going to address lots of lifes issues that Ive been dealing with that I havent written about before...its pretty lengthy haha But FULL of honest and raw emotion. I read this devotion last night and to be honest, Ive been doubting. Doubting different things....but being reminded and KNOWING Jesus weeps w/us!!!! And that its OKAY to weep!!!! Wow. Now, Im seeing things in completely different light. All from two words. :) Thank you all for praying for me and for following my blog! Im praying for each of you, my readers, that you will take something away from this!! And that God would shower you in blessings and wrap His love all around you in whatever season you may be in!!!!! ♥AW
