我不难过 这不算什么
只是为什么 眼泪会流 我也不懂
Went for my morning jog earlier and felt so emotional when I started having flashbacks of yesterday's worship and sermon. I felt God has spoken to me through His message, on dealing with shame and guilt.
“[Zacchaeus] was too short … [but] when Jesus got to the tree, he looked up …”Luke 19: 3, 5 (NIV)
Luke 19 records that when Jesus passed this spot, he looked up and noticed Zacchaeus. Can you imagine how Zacchaeus’ heart started pounding at that moment? Jesus was looking at him – this small, despised, insignificant man.
Why did Jesus stop at that tree and look at him? Because he knew that’s exactly where Zacchaeus was.
God knows exactly where you are too. He knew where you were an hour ago and he knows where you will be tomorrow. You may feel like you’re up a tree right now in your life. God knows where you are. You may feel like you’re out on a limb; Jesus knows. You may feel all alone, but Jesus stops and notices. You are not forgotten; you are not alone.
No tear has ever been hidden from him. No hurtful word said to you has ever passed that he missed. No abuse has ever occurred that he didn’t see and grieve with you. He sees it all.
This song was on my mind during our dearest Aunt Julia's hospitalisation and I felt the lyrics even more when the congregation sang it yesterday and I started to tear. Thank you God for your love and grace.
Everything was done so you would come.
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come
