This scripture has interestingly jumped out at my heart and opened up a whole new mindset for me. Scripture has a way of doing that, the more you read, the more it happens. You don't have to read a big chunk, sometimes it takes simply dedication to continue reading. Life is not the same day after day, there are so many different encounters, emotions, feelings, happenings, changes. But one thing is for sure the Bible remains constant and faithful, ministering God's living word for your spirit no matter what you are going through.
Read today's scripture here John 20:11-18
Sometimes you will find that scripture isn't clicking, and you just read through it, other days it hits you. I read today's passage and thought, I don't know what to share today. My thoughts were blank. I then went and grabbed my study bible and the commentary on this bible said Perhaps Jesus went to Mary because she needed it most at that time. She was wailing with loud grief.

Instantly I recalled the moment where I was in the same shoes. I was at a time in my life where I could see absolutely no hope, no joy, no solutions, no answers. I was devastated. I was "wailing" and hurting, and God spoke to me. I actually heard him audibly, and he was responding to my Spirit and he said "you won't get to heaven". I know it doesn't make sense to you in that context, but it made complete sense to me. God spoke the exact words that would change my life forever. I even argued with God. Can you imagine, arguing...it was more like pleading, and begging, but his audible reply was the same and in the same "matter of fact" "calm" tone. "you won't get to heaven".
I've never heard his voice audibly again, but it was enough to where I will never forget even what it sounded like. I tear up instantly upon that moment. It was the moment when God saved my life.
How about you? Has there ever been a need so strong in your life, that you wailed out to God and God responded? Sometimes it is audibly, perhaps physically, perhaps in your Spirit, or perhaps he sent a SWAT team of friends to gather around you. God hears your heart and your heart out cries your audible sounds.
God's there.
