Compassion Without Restraint

"When the Lord saw her, His heart went out to her and He said, 'Don't cry.'" (Luke 7:13)

"Usually the words come from one who can't stand to see the hurt because she is powerless to help. Christ, on the other hand, is never helpless. When He said, 'Don't cry,' He meant, 'Not only do I hurt for you, but also I'm going to do something about the cause of the hurt."

"Jesus ran into a woman in hopeless despair and just reacted with what came most naturally to Him - healing mercy."


Jesus said, "Don't cry," He knows and understands what you are going through, and He is here to help you. He is full of mercy and love, and He has the mighty power to change the situation for you!

"No pacing, waiting, or wondering. No garbled nonsense from a patient slowly regaining consciousness. Jesus said, 'Get up!' and the dead man did. Instantaneously."
— Beth Moore,
Jesus, the One and Only

"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." (Psalm 90:14)
