{ Day 32: Jesus Is_ - J&C. Smith }

• John 16:33 - "...Take heart because I have overcome the world"
• Jesus is familiar with our sorrows and challenges
• John 11:35 - "Jesus wept." 
• He cried because in the moment no matter what the change, no matter what the outcome, it is real hurt and pain in the moment
• No matter what you are going through, God does not belittle your pain
• You need to know that Jesus weeps with you and is with you in that painful moment
• Knowing that He is there with you, even without saying anything, we can have peace and take heart
• God knows the hurt is real, but the peace we have is also just as real
• He is crying with you and cares about what is going deep down inside of you but He also gives you peace that passes anything that is happening in your life
