Jesus wept -- John 11

John 11:33-35 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, ....Jesus wept.

There's a secret bond between Jesus and Mary, that is, they share the same feelings. Jesus trusted Mary with His own feelings, she had His heart. She took care of His feelings and didn't let Him down. She acted out what she felt in her heart. In return, Jesus took care of her feelings. When she's troubled, He felt what she's feeling, and was moved to actions.

When you feel something bigger than yourself, when you feel the Lord's heartbeat in you, you know that God has entrusted to you with His own feelings, and you know that you've been called into something. If you act out what's in your heart, when you're moved by what God feels in you, God will be moved into action, too.
