Jesus wept over Jerusalem. His heart was not closed to others. He was
not absorbed in himself or his own problems. He freely offered his
life for others. Others rejected him, but he never rejected them. He
was not bitter to those who would make him suffer. He loved and never
ceases to love. Jesus sets an example for us to follow. We need to be
open to the needs of those around us, even to those that may persecute
us.
Jesus loved his enemies. He prayed for those who persecuted him. He
blessed those who cursed him. He sought only their good, and he
sacrificed himself for them. He shows us the way to live an
authentically Christian life. To be faithful to him, we need to reach
out in love even to those people who don't think and act like us.
Let us always follow the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps
there is something good that we want to do, instead we hesitate and
draw back. We should give the best of ourselves to God and to others
and continue with our good works even when we are tired. This is the
path to our true happiness. Let us not draw back when we encounter
obstacles. Instead, let us press forward seeking only to do God's
will. When faced with our struggles, let us remember that Jesus is
always with us and that we are never alone.
