We,ve seen a lot of devastation,and hardship around the world this year. We all have images of
the pictures,in our minds that has captured our attention. It can be hard not to be overwhelmed
by them. But when you know that God is in control, we can look at the massive destruction and still have joy .
Our minds fine it hard to process the suffering of our people,and as our heart's are crushed,tears
run down our faces. Our reaction are understandable. Yet,sometimes crying is the only appropriate
response to the suffering we encounter in life. As we examine the devastation,I think of the
compassion of our Lord. Jesus understood the need for tears. He wept over a different kind of
devastation-the destruction ( Gen.C-3:v-1 Thu v-24) brought on by sin. As He approached
Jerusalem,marked by corruption and injustice and the pain they create,His response was tears.
"Now as He drew near,He saw the city and wept over it" ( Luke C-19:v41). Jesus wept out of
compassion,and grief. In the world we live in ,we to will encounter inhumanity ,suffering,and sin that wreak havoc in our life's.How do we respond? If the heart of Christ breaks over the broken
condition of our world,shouldn't ours? Now then, we should be doing everything we can to make a difference for those in need, both spiritually and physically?
