Jesus wept. — John 11:35
This is the shortest verse in the Bible and one of the saddest verses. Each time I read this verse I cry as well.
Jesus wept because those whom He loved didn’t have faith in Him. They knew He had performed miracles but didn’t trust that He would do it for them since He wasn't there in person at the moment they thought they needed Him. They gave up on Him. They didn't believe He was who He said He was.
It’s sad to think that Jesus weeps over me each time I don’t honor Him by putting my trust in Him. He died for me. He came to earth, took on human form, conquered the devil and brought peace between God and man. He took on all of my sins so that I can live with Him for eternity. Eternity which began the day I accept Him as my Lord and Savior.
The Bible is the most intriguing, fantastic and satisfying book that I have ever read. The words are alive and each day when I read it something pops out that seems new or a new revelation is obtained. It never gets boring no matter how many times it’s read.
The more I read the Bible, I see how much God loves us and wants to take care of us.
My father loved me so much and wanted my life to go well. He provided for me, comforted me when I was sick and taught right from wrong. I now see that God loves me more than my earthy father ever could. God is the ultimate Father. The Father we all have ever dreamed a father could be. He wants to do what my earthy father did but in a perfect and complete way.
I don’t have to wait until dad comes home now to talk to him or for him to give me guidance. God is always there the instant I need to speak to Him. He has put His Spirit inside of me that brings to remembrance all the guidance I need to tackle anything that comes my way and if that isn’t enough all I have to do is ask for His help. God wants to provide for my every need. I just need to believe, trust in Him and have patience.
He wants to do the same for you as well. God’s love for us is more than we can even imagine since we have never received that from another human being.
Jesus weeps for you as well. You were created for one purpose, to have a personal relationship with Him. Once you do, you will start receiving the love that you’ve always desired and so much more.
