John 11:33-35 (NASB)
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, 34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus wept.
I tithe, I give, I serve, I donate to worthy causes. But, I’ve yet to respond to need as Jesus did. I’ve never wept. All the hurting people I pass daily, all the posts on facebook from friends who’ve lost love ones and not one solitary tear. I tease my wife all the time because she is easily moved to tears when faced with someone hurting or in need. Yet she is the one with the heart like Christ. People’s pain stirs her soul. So much so that she has fashioned her career around helping people. She gets it!
Christ not only came to seek and save the lost but also to heal the brokenhearted. He gave them life. He wept for them. I should to.
