"But Jesus, turning to them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For indeed the days are coming...' "
Luke 23:28-29a
Beaten and broken, in the midst of His own pain, Jesus looked beyond Himself at the big picture – at the suffering these women would endure in just a few years (vss. 29-31). When I am suffering, it is difficult to turn my eyes beyond my own pain to the needs of others. All I can think about is how much I hurt. Lord, help me to look beyond myself – to not just concentrate on the trees but see the forest.
Today's Thought: Spiritual greatness is looking beyond myself to the needs of others.
Have a "looking beyond" day. Love you.
