"He wept", have you considered Him?

"He wept"
Have you considered Him?

"All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship"

Through all the ups and downs
Storms and deserts
New opportunities and dead ends
There will always be a reason to sing and to worship
Because He is still God
And has not moved a single bit from His throne

His promise to me:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine."

last night i was praying and i cried
sometimes the distancing from someone you love 
often causes deep sorrows and it tears us apart
so as i wept
Jesus showed me His love for the people
with the same or much greater love 

can you imagine the kind of sorrow and burden He carries each day?
if the distancing from someone we love tears us apart like this
being in Jesus shoes, i would be crying all day
how the people doubted Him time and again
accused Him of things He never did
and never appreciates the things He did
even His closest disciple betrayed Him 
when they are placed in desperate times
this is how He would go up to the mountains to pray EVERYDAY

never giving up, He suffered long for us
without fail, He went away to pray again and again
for the people who had hurt Him so deep

when we don't talk to the person we love for a few days
or having those one or 2 words answers just because we are busy
causes us to feel so broken sometimes
then have we considered the Lord?

times when we talk to Him and before He could answer, we fell asleep
days where there are not even, 1 or 2 words answers
got so busy we did not even reply His call
how many times have you broken His heart then?

and despite all
He never decides to leave us or EVER thought of giving up on us
EVERYDAY He is still there on His throne
beside the Father, interceding for us

i guess Jesus is the best demonstration of... 

what LOVE is all about:
not selfish
not boastful
self sacrificial
bears all things
believes all things
hopes all things
endures all things
NEVER fails!
