how he was loved

Friday November 6th John 11: 34 He said, "Where did you put him?" "Master, come and see," they said. Now Jesus wept. The Jews said, "Look how deeply he loved him." Others among them said, "Well, if he loved him so much, why didn't he do something to keep him from dying? After all, he opened the eyes of a blind man." The saints in our lives are the ones who have brought us the vision of God. They are the tellers of stories and the prayers of prayers. Lazarus and Jesus were friends. Stories and love filled their times together. When he died, Jesus wept as much for the pain of missing him as he did for the lack of future vision and faith of his friends and family. Even after Lazarus was raised by Jesus, he later died. Life in this world is short. Be thankful for the saints that fill your life with stories, prayer and love. Be a saint for someone else. May it be said of you someday, “look how deeply they were loved.”
