Psalm 119:45 says, “I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.” That may sound surprising in a world that often sees God’s commands as restrictive.

She has already lost her husband, and now she has lost her only son. Yet on the hardest day of her life, Jesus sees her, has compassion on her, speaks comfort to her, and interrupts her sorrow with life. This post reminds us that Jesus does not look away from the hurting. He sees, He cares, He comes near, and He is able to get in the way of our sorrow too....
