Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-20

John 11:35 (NKJV) 35 Jesus wept.

Many people are going through things and they are afraid to let go. They think they have to hold back the tears because if they don’t people might think they are not strong.

When we hold back the tears, we are denying ourselves healing. We are ignoring the fact that we are hurting and we need gentle, tender, loving care. By ignoring this and denying ourselves the healing we need, we are putting ourselves at risk of getting hard and bitter.

Hardness will make us think no one is there for us. No one cares. Not even God.

It will make us think things like maybe even God does not hear us.

Hardness has a voice and it’s not nice. It’s mean, angry and frustrated.

A hard, bitter heart cannot function properly. It gets off track quickly. It needs help.

Maybe today you are facing or dealing with a tragedy. You don’t know how to get past it, let it go and start over.

Don’t hold in what needs to come out. Shed some tears and talk to God. Your healing will find you.

Psalm 38:8 (NKJV) 8 I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

If Jesus wept, then it’s OK for us to weep.

It’s not a sign of weakness, no matter how many people say it is.

It is a sign of recognizing what just took place and realizing that we need to let God be God and help us be lifted up.

Cry on His shoulder.

Psalm 3:3 (NKJV) 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
