we all cry sometimes

Jesus wept.

- John 11:35 (NKJV)

 

We all cry sometimes, even Jesus.
The shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35 – Jesus wept. 
In October 2020 I used this verse, and I wrote “Jesus was moved to tears by the sorrow of Mary and Martha over the death of their brother Lazarus.

All their friends were crying, mourning the death of their friend.

Lazarus, Mary, and Martha were friends of Jesus too, and He shared in their sorrow.

I’d like to think that Mary and Martha found comfort in His tears.

I’d like to believe that when I am sad, Jesus cries with me too.”

Apparently, I am not the only one who believes that because in 2023 Riley Clemmons released Jesus Cries:
It's no secret that life

Gets a little heavy sometimes

Like it's too much for one heart to take

Your smile's wearing thin

Just tryin' to hold it all in

But it feels like the dam's gonna break

You are not alone facing that flood behind your eyes

Heaven already knows every tear that you cry

So let 'em fall like the rain

Let 'em roll down your face

Let 'em run like a river

That carries your pain

To the Savior with scars

Right there holding your heart

When you weep, He's there weeping with you

Jesus cries too

Mm-mm-mm

There's no answer sometimes

For the hurt that's inside

When the healing feels so far away

But in the ache of your soul

There's a love that comes close

And catches your tears when they're all you can pray

Let 'em fall like the rain

Let 'em roll down your face

Let 'em run like a river

That carries your pain

To the Savior with scars

Right there holding your heart

When you weep, He's there weeping with you

Jesus cries too, Jesus cries too

At the edge of the grave

In the valley of pain

When the sadness won't shake

It's true (Jesus cries too)

When the suffering is long

When you can't see the dawn

He feels all the sorrow with you

Jesus cries too

Jesus cries too, yeah, yeah

Let 'em fall like the rain

Let 'em roll down your face

Let 'em run like a river

That carries your pain

To the Savior with scars

Right there holding your heart

When you weep, He's there weeping with you

He's never been closer

It's true

Jesus cries too
It is such a comfort to know that I will never cry alone. 
A comfort in knowing that someone cares enough about me that He is right there, holding my heart.
