When John the Baptist passed away, Jesus likewise felt the agony of loss, but it didn't stop Him from carrying out His mission. After only a little time alone (Matt. 14:13), He was moved by compassion to heal the sick and feed the 5,000 people.
Is your heart hurting right now? Is your life feeling empty? Do you have the want to give up? The Master's example offers encouragement. Accomplish whatever tasks are at hand. Set them apart for God. Don't indulge in self-pity. Take action to ease others' burdens. Keep in mind how Jesus handled His grief; He will give you the courage to do the same.
To relieve someone else's suffering is to forget one's own.
All that we pour into the lives of others comes back into our own; this is the destiny that unites us as brothers.
