Terri's Wellspring

And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep.  St. Luke 7:13

Sometimes we feel that we are experiencing a personal struggle, hurt or problem that the world does not understand.  We may shed tears and feel that we are alone in our pain.  I am so thankful for God, who is all knowing and full of mercy.  This passage has at least two important reminders:

One, that He sees us.  He is aware of everything concerning us.  Our ups, our downs, and our struggles.  He knows about our heart break and our grief.  He sees it all. 

Two, that He responds to our needs with compassion.  As our Father, His simultaneous reaction to witnessing our pain is to respond with His comfort, peace and joy.  He loves us so much to provide for our needs. 

On our journey in life, we do not walk alone.  We walk with our Father who is prepared to meet our needs as we open our hearts to Him.
