As He approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out - the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, His heart went out to her and He said, "Don't cry."
"If anyone knows the pain of losing His only Son, it's God." I don't recall in which book I read this quote, but I know it was Max Lucado who said it in regards to this Scripture passage.
God understands. God knows our pain. And when we ache, Jesus' heart goes out to us, just as it did for the widow in this story. We are never without Someone Who counts our every tear and feels every tug on our heart. He whispers to us with tenderness, "Don't cry."
