Jesus wept.

That’s the shortest verse in the Bible, and one of the most important ones!

It’s one of the verses that reminds me of all that Jesus is. Sometimes I see Him solely as a powerful Spirit and forget that He walked the same earth that we do… that He was in the human flesh and felt all the physical things that we do… that He cares so deeply for us that He feels all the emotions too.

Since I surrendered my heart to Him, I weep regularly. Almost daily.

Sometimes it’s because I’m completely overflowing with joy.
Sometimes because I’m overflowing with love
Sometimes because I see what my friends and family are doing and I’m so happy and proud for them
Sometimes it’s because I’m so grateful for what God is doing in my life and words can’t even begin to describe it so I pour out my heart and the tears just flow.

It’s not always for good reason… a lot of times it’s because things aren’t so good!

Sometimes because I’m overwhelmed with struggle and I need to call out to God and ask for help.
Sometimes because I have a lifetime of grief that sneaks up on me and I’m overcome with sadness and I need to call out to God to be with me.
Sometimes because I’m feeling anxious over the unknown and I need to call out to God to comfort me.
Sometimes because I see my friends and family in pain and suffering and I hate it
Sometimes because I think of the pain Jesus endured to save my soul and my heartaches for Him

While I always try to let the love of Jesus flow through me and joy be written on my face, I think one of the most important phrases that would be written in a book about my life would be

Nicole wept.

I think it would be the point of my story where it shows how much my heart has changed since I accepted Jesus in.

To show how I poured the grief in my heart out
To show I soaked up every ounce of love I could
To show I found beauty in the lows
To show I was humbled in the highs
To show I chose hope.

I asked Jesus to be the Saviour of my life. And I wept deeply. And I know as I did, so did He.
