About This Quote
In the Bible, when Jesus was in his tomb three days after he died, he appeared to his followers and said, “God has been pleased to take away from me everything that is mine. Therefore, I will see you again and remember you.” The idea here is that God emptied out that first tomb so He could turn around and empty out me. This means that we shouldn’t feel too bad about our own failings. God has already broken the mold He created for us and we shouldn’t let ourselves get depressed by the fact that we can’t do everything perfectly. We should instead be trusting God to help us rise up every time we fall.
