“Jesus never tried to hide his loneliness and dependence on other people. He chose his disciples not as servants but as friends. He shared moments of joy and grief with them, and asked for them in times of need. They became his family, his substitute mother and brothers and sisters. They gave up everything for him, as he had given up everything for them. He loved them, plain and simple.” PeopleNeedsMomentsJoyMotherJesusGivenSimpleGriefLonelinessBrotherServantSubstitutesDiscipleDependenceBrothers And SistersGiven UpGave UpTime Of NeedPlain And SimpleDependence On OthersJoy And GriefShared Moments Author:Philip Yancey
“I have no wit, no words, no tears; My heart within me like a stone Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears; Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me.” LooksHeartEyeLife IsFallJesusLeftGriefToo MuchTearsMinesMy HeartStonesWitHillsLiftsLeafsEverlastingNumbFalling Leaves Author:Christina Rossetti
