God must weep
God must weep
in these days, this moment;
God must agonize
for the loss of such life.
God must weep
so much more than Jesus
so many more than one friend
sent to the grave.
God must weep
for the raging pandemic
so many lives lost
all over the globe.
God must weep
for the failures, the arrogance,
for the many lives lost,
in the name of free will.

God must weep
Twitter post by @JustAmyZing:
“I will never understand American Christianity’s
response to the pandemic. I’m so grieved by
reckless choices that lead to real life consequences
for the whole community. And I wonder in the
Church’s failure in this also grieves the heart of God.”
My reply:
if "#Jesus wept." for the death of one friend,
Lazarus, how much more so must #God weep for this
loss of life from the pandemic.
John 11:35
“Jesus wept.”
