An Encouraging Word

If you are struggling today with feeling down and discouraged, if you are shedding tears and bewailing your fate, take heart in these words.\

Even Jesus shed tears. While visiting his friend Lazarus’ tomb, “Jesus wept.” The shortest verse in the bible is perhaps the verse that most helps us see the human side of Jesus. Just like us, he wept. He understands our tears. Take your troubles to him and let him help you through your difficult time and bring you peace.

Thank you, Lord, for sending us your son. Thank you for understanding our tears and for bringing us peace.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
