Have you ever been so crushed one moment that you burst into tears—only to laugh out loud the next because you so felt full of joy? Our emotions can be confusing!

Jesus felt the same crazy ups and downs—He was indescribably joyful when playing with kids. But, with people who were cheating the helpless? He got angry. In today’s Bible story (John 11:32–44), Jesus even cries! Just as we would be, He’s heartbroken because His friend, Lazarus, died.

If you’re experiencing a roller coaster of emotions, know Jesus has been there. Living inside of you, He even feels each of your feelings with you. Seriously. Are you having an amazing day? Your Savior rejoices with you. Have you been rejected or excluded? Your Savior cries for you, heartbroken too.

You have emotions, in fact, because you’re created in God’s image. And God has all the feels.

Jesus, my emotions sometimes take me on a roller-coaster ride; they make me go crazy. Thanks for knowing what that feels like—for knowing me better than I know myself.
