The Heartbreak of God...



"Jesus wept..."
John 11:35


Where did you go?

Why did you leave?

Didn't you know I loved you?

Didn't you hear Me calling out to you?

I was pounding on the door,
begging you to open it and let me in.

I wanted to come in and comfort you.

I loved everything about you. 
Everything.
Everything.

I had so many dreams I dreamed for you so long ago.

I held you in my hand the day that you were born.

I laughed with you at the wonder of every little miracle I sent
to encourage you along the way.

I wept bitterly when you believed the lie 
that you didn't matter to anyone.

You mattered to Me, My child. 
You mattered to Me...

I screamed at you to turn around and see Me
standing right beside you.

I ran in front of you, begging you to stop...

I was standing right there. 
Loving you. 
Loving you. 
 Loving you...

I never stopped loving you...

and
in recognition that God weeps with us over the loss of hope that leads to the tragedy of suicide.
