Dear God~It seems ironic that in the name of "faith," people are often discouraged from crying, grieving, feeling, hurting, suffering and...expressing what we face in this life. I find it interesting, however, that Jesus wept. He cried. He suffered. He was in anguish. How interesting that we are told in Scripture to comfort one another....which involves vulnerability and compassion.
Thank You, God, for the precious example of Your Son Who shared His heart, His life, His tears...and yes, even His pain and suffering openly...honestly...lovingly...purposefully. Thank You for allowing us to learn through the trials and tears. Thank You for turning our scars into stories of Your hope...Your love...Your peace...Your joy...and Your power!<3~thl
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5: 4
