too blessed to cry

this morning i was getting into the car to go to work... i saw a woman... passing by...she was walking alone, and crying...

i got into the car... scrolled up the window shield to shut out the dust and the noises... i watched her go...

and i wondered...

why was she crying... what was it that made her cry... where was she headed... i saw the heaviness... the hurt and the helplessness in her...

did she know that there is a God who knows her pain... who is calling her "Come to me,(my daughter) you are weary and burdened, I will give you rest.- Matthew 11:28. did she know that she can lay all her burdens at HIS feet... and stop crying... did she know that in HIM there's solution to all her problems, calming of all her fears... provision of all her needs- physical,mental,spiritual... and start singing with assurance... that come what may... God is always near... He will never leave her nor forsake her...?? Did she know??

made me to think... how my days have been blessed... since the day i met HIM... since the day i made a covenant with HIM... difficulties, challenges i faced... but none could overcome me... for i am more than CONQUERER through HIM who is my strength, my strong tower, my very present help in times of need... i've been too blessed to cry,too blessed to surrender to life's circumstances.

oh Jesus, thank you for YOU in my life... may this crying woman find in YOU the solace she needs....
