A SIGN OF
LOVE
“When
Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid
him? They said unto him, Lord, come and
see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved
him!”
John
11:33-36 (King James
Version)
My Mother went home
to be with Jesus several years ago but I still miss her. Mom told me that she liked it when I wore
green because I looked good in green. On
Mother’s Day, if I remember to do it, I always wear something green in honor of
her. She told me the green brought out
the color of my eyes.
At Mom’s funeral, I
did not cry because some people told me everyone would be watching me to see if
I would cry. They said “You are a
Christian and Christians should not cry when someone dies”. I submit to you on the authority of the Word
of God that statement is a lie straight from the pits of
hell.
Jesus wept when
Lazarus died, not because Lazarus was dead but because He loved Lazarus. The Jews knew that Jesus wasn’t a sissy when
He wept for Lazarus. They knew that when
Jesus wept for Lazarus that it was a sign of love. “Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved
him!”
Heavenly Father,
thank You for our mothers. How thankful
I am to know that I will see my Mother again when I die or when Jesus comes back
for us. I pray that You would comfort
all those who are hurting and missing their mother. Please wipe the tears from their heart and
eyes with Your tender kisses of love.
Amen.
