jesus notices

ever wonder what it would have been like to see the Son of God weep? in John 11 after Lazarus dies Jesus becomes "greatly disturbed in Spirit and deeply moved." The crazy thing I saw this time when reading this passage is that Jesus became this way after seeing Mary and the people following here weeping out of compassion for Lazarus. Jesus sees his children weeping, and is moved.

sometimes I feel as though I am some random piece of the puzzle that everyone swears has to have been lost under the table. the piece that stays (un)found and unnoticed. this word came to me as I was playing my guitar in the wee hours of the morning, "Jesus you notice me, you see my pain, my trails, my fear. You are God, You hear me, You are love."

Jesus notices us, but so much more than the word "notice" implies. He knows us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. The crazy part? Oh yeah, is that he knows our deepest most disturbing thoughts yet he is still loves us more than any other being as well as encourages us more than any other. what the? how come? He is love, he is encouragement, he is righteousness, he is holy.

Lord, continue to reveal yourself to me. I know you will never give up on me. I wish to come humbly before you in meekness, and the understanding of your call on our lives as your followers. I know that I know nothing. Walk with me. Show me your way. Bless me with the opportunity to bring your glory to your kingdom. Let us be known as the people that walked with God.
