Jesus wept. — John 11:35
I don’t know about you, but I have to start here. If I don’t start with God’s willingness to feel pain, to risk getting hurt by those He loves, then nothing in this universe makes sense, and I think I would lose my faith.
Jesus wept. The Resurrection and the Life pauses here at the tomb of a friend and weeps, feeling with us the loss that only He could make right.
Much is not as it should be. The Holocaust. Hell. Hurt. The race of men gone mad in their flight from God’s presence.
God does not take some kind of narcotic to keep Himself from feeling the horrible pain of the universe as it really is. His eyes are wide open. His heart is wide open.
If Jesus did not weep, then none of our tears would matter. But, in fact, He did. And that gives us a foothold for hope.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
