So, last week was rough. How was yours? I find it strange how one minute you feel secure and the next, it’s as if your feet have been knocked out from in under you. At least that’s how I felt. In the midst of the hard, though, came God’s assurance as I read from Isaiah 41. Verse 10 kept echoing in my mind: “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

This week I have been studying John chapter 20. Every time I read this chapter, the same emotions overtake me.
It’s a chapter that I’ve never been able to get over and honestly hope I never do.
I love the part starting at verse 10, where the disciples go back to their homes, but Mary, well, she tarries longer at the tomb.
We have to realize that with everything she had experienced in the days leading up to this point, how distraught she must have been and now to find her Savior, her Best Friend, her Master gone, how her heart must have been even more shattered. The pain must have been almost unbearable as she stood outside the tomb that day.
