One of the worse days in my life

There was a time near the end of high school when all 8 of my closest friends turned their backs on me because they didn't agree with me with something that I did. Today the same feeling came back again. I guess what I learned is that you don't always have to prove your point and win an argument. Sometimes all you need to say is that "I will be by your side even though I don't agree with you right now." When Martha and Mary was crying over their dead brother, Jesus could have said "Oh ye of little faith, stop crying. I'll raise him from the dead in a second" But he didn't. Jesus wept. He wept because he saw the sorrow of death. He wept because he felt what Mary and Martha felt. Compassion. Come, passion. Oh Lord have mercy.


"Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"



---- Gosh, I'm so exhausted.
