Don't Cry

 

‭
Luke 7:13 CEV‬  When the Lord saw the woman, he felt sorry for her and said, “Don't cry!”

Jesus encounters a grieving woman. Her heartache is palpable, her tears flowing freely.

But when the Lord gazes upon her, compassion wells up within Him. His words, tender and comforting, echo through the ages: “Don't cry!”

This simple yet profound utterance reveals the depth of Jesus' empathy. He doesn't merely acknowledge her pain; He steps into it, sharing her sorrow.

His divine compassion bridges the gap between heaven and earth, touching the wounded places in our hearts.

In this verse, we glimpse the heart of our Savior—a heart that reaches out to the broken, whispers solace, and offers hope. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone. The One who stilled the stormy seas also wipes away our tears.

May we, too, learn to extend compassion to those around us, echoing Jesus' words: “Don't cry!” 🌟

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts burdened by our own sorrows and struggles. Just as Jesus saw the grieving woman and said, "Don't cry," we ask for Your comfort and solace in our moments of pain.

Lord, wipe away our tears.
Speak peace to our troubled hearts.
Remind us that You are near, even when we feel alone.

May we extend the same compassion to others, reaching out to those who weep, offering a listening ear, and sharing the hope we find in You.

Let our lives echo the Savior's love, bringing healing to broken hearts and pointing others to Your unfailing grace.

In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
🙏

  Psalms 62:8 CEV‬ Trust God, my friends, and always tell him each of your concerns. God is our place of safety. Let's delve deeper into Psalm 62:8: 1.

Our fears are kept in a bottle

  Psalms 56:8 CEV‬ You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted each of them. In this psalm, David is facing adversity and persecution. He pleads to God for mercy and protection from his enemies. Despite the challenges he faces, David maintains his trust in God. Here are some key points from Psalm 56:8: 1. God's Care and Compassion: The imagery of God collecting tears in a bottle highlights His deep concern for His people. Tears represent our pain, sorrow, and vulnerability. God not only sees our tears but also treasures them. He doesn't ignore our suffering; instead, He collects and remembers every tear shed. 2. Days of Wandering: David acknowledges that life can be like wandering—a journey filled with uncertainty, trials, and hardships. Yet, even during these wandering days, God is attentive to our struggles. He keeps a record of our experiences, both joyful and painful. 3. Counting Each Tear: The idea that God counts

Keys to being useful to God

Psalms 57:10-11 CEV‬ Your love reaches higher than the heavens; your loyalty extends beyond the clouds. 1. Know you are loved by God. Worship Him steadfastly: God uses you because He loves you greatly, as David says "For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies" (Psalm 57:10). Worship Him steadfastly with your gifts publicly and privately, in good times and bad (Psalm 57:7-9). 2. Honor God in your life. Desire His glory: Make it your ultimate desire to exalt God and let His glory be over all the earth (Psalm 57:11), just as Jesus taught to pray "hallowed be your name" (Matthew 6:9). 3. Do what the Father is doing, not your own plans: Like Jesus who could do nothing by Himself but only what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19), try to discern God's plans and join in rather than initiating your own.  4. Do good works as evidence of faith, but don't earn salvation by them: Those who have done good will rise to
