He see's our tears

When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry." Luke 7:13 (NIV84)


I love this.  First Jesus see's our hurt & pain.  He does not try to minimize it or critisize this woman for her grief-He is moved with compassion for this woman-His heart (God's heart) went out to her-and then He spoke to her pain.  I would venture to say that her tears had to be obediant to the command "Don't cry" just as disease had to be obediant when he commanded physical healing in someone's body.  At Jesus command her grief had to leave & her tears had to stop.  Jesus has all authority.  He see's our needs.  He is moved by compassion in our needs.  He is the authority over our needs.
