Frank talk with God never hurt anybody, and frankly speaking, He is down with it and always ready to listen. I got bummed recently while reading my bible. I just went like, WTF; sure, the religious people went like, “Oh hell no! He did not just swear” please, what I meant was What The Fudge. So as I said earlier, I was reading my bible, and there it was, staring right back at me. The shortest Bible verse, John 11:35, and reads “JESUS WEPT,” so I asked, “Jesus who”? But how? How can the son of God cry? Jesus Christ! The son of the living God crying? I needed answers only He could give me.
“Jesus, should I trust you? Are you that weak? What business do you have with tears? Are you not the one to wipe tears away?” Then He said to me, “Yes, Yes, Yes I cried! Dre you and your questions. I cried because the burden was too much, I had lost my friend, because of compassion, because of the price I was about to pay for you, I cried because I had to serve my purpose I cried because I love you, and most importantly I cried so the glory of the Lord would be revealed. I was excited as I continued to read further in John 11:40-44
I noticed that Jesus did not weep forever, that He knew that in a few short minutes, all this weeping would turn to immense joy, happy tears, and worship.
This made me realize that whatever storm you are in, hold on to God and continue to trust in Him. His glory will be manifested so all the naysayers, the haters, people that rejected you, those that looked down on you, and your critics will be the ones sharing your testimonies. I know sometimes it’s difficult; I know sometimes it gets hard. The emotions, rejection, and pain are unbearable. I want you to know that even the son of God felt it, but He knew that “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). Sometimes God makes you cry in front of men so that when you smile, they know that God took you through this so His name will be worshiped.
In the same way, He exposes your weakness; He will expose your glory. Just hold on a bit. It’s alright to cry, but now I want you to start laughing for Christ in you, the Hope of Glory. It’s alright.
