Today we remember. We remember 9/11. We remember the tragedy that took place yesterday. Our hearts hurt at what we see around us.

Jesus sees our pain. I think one of the most powerful verses in the Bible is John 11:35.

“Jesus wept.”

Jesus saw Mary and Martha’s grief. He knew the end of the story. Yet, He wept.

Another Scripture says, “⁸ Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” (Psalm 56:8)

Dear ones today, we can take comfort in the fact that God sees our tears. Even in isolation, we are not alone. There is comfort from a God who sees and cares.
