"If Jesus wept, you can weep too. Stop holding those tears in. Stop trying to be so strong for everyone else." - Wesleyne
"Jesus wept."- John 11:35
Wesleyne draws attention to the shortest verse in the Bible, "Jesus wept," highlighting Jesus's humanity and his experience of pain and sorrow.
She encourages listeners to embrace their emotions, emphasizing that it's okay to cry and to feel sadness.
However, she also notes that persistent inconsolable crying might indicate a need for external support, whether through prayer, loved ones, or professional help.
Wesleyne reminds us that God and our support system are there to hold our hands and dry our tears, urging us to release our emotions rather than bottling them up.

- Don't hesitate to seek support from God, loved ones, or professionals when emotions become overwhelming.
