Chris was serving a two-year mission in Hermosillo, Mexico, teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ when, because of Covid, he had to leave suddenly. He was reassigned to Wichita, Kansas. He loves Kansas, but he misses Mexico.
This week we had the following conversation:
Chris: If I don’t get to go back to Mexico to finish out my mission, I’ll be heartbroken.
Me: God knows you—he knows how sad you’ll be.
Chris: He doesn’t just know me, he’ll be sad right along with me! I’ll be crying and he’ll be crying with me! He’ll say, “I knew you weren’t going back and I knew how sad that would make you! My heart is breaking too because I love you!”
I am grateful that my son has learned that God is a God who weeps. No matter what hard things we’re going through, God feels it too. Best if all, he has promised to walk by our side.
