Sad and Sorry

The other day, I was telling Jesus, "I am so sad. I am so sad."
I was sad because some of our friends are having a really sad time of it.
Then I found myself patting Him on the back and saying in His ear,"I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I am so sorry that your body was broken for us so we could be whole and yet we remain so broken. I am so sorry that we as human beings treat each other this way when you have done everything in Your power to give us all that we need to be dignified and to treat each other with dignity. I am so sorry that we do not avail ourselves of your grace and your blood. I am so sorry."

My sadness is nothing compared to His sorrow.

It is His tears that need to be wiped.
