Suffering, Faith and Human Compassion - Original post: https://www.twitter.com/i/status/2119431391272157562 - Source account: [@TrueOnX](https://x.com/TrueOnX) - Source language: English - Duration: 6:02 - Published: 2026-11-10 - Canonical URL: https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion ## Transcript [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=16) I've watched a child learn to flinch before they ever learned to read. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=20) Watched a mother count her change and choose which little mouth she'd feed. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=23) Watched a father lose his livelihood, then lose himself to shame, while a thousand people passed him without ever knowing his name. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=31) I've seen hospital halls at midnight where the bravest voices break, where forever becomes never in a breath you cannot save. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=39) Where a bedroom stays untouched because to move a single chair means admitting who you're waiting for is never walking there. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=46) And I've wondered how a God called love can watch what love survives. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=50) How the innocent inherit wounds that haunt them all their lives. [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=53) If you hear the unheard hurt, if you see behind our eyes, don't explain to me why suffering exists. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=60) Tell me, God, do you cry? [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=64) Does God cry when the sirens split the silence of the night? [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=71) Does God cry when another frightened child can't close their eyes? [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=78) When the hungry watch us wasting. When the lonely smile while breaking. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=85) When we're praying for salvation while ignoring someone's cries. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=93) Does God ache when we turn another difference into hate? [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=101) Does God break when forgiveness comes one heartbeat too late? [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=107) If Your presence lives within us, if Your essence never dies, then perhaps every tear that ever fell from our eyes was also God who cried. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=120) We perfected mass production, reconstruction, mass destruction, turned compassion into captions, monetized our own corruption. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=127) Turned our neighbors into numbers, turned attention into trade, then wrote scriptures about mercy while inventing whom to hate. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=135) We can photograph a famine from a satellite in flight. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=138) Watch a city disappear and change the channel for the night. [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=142) Map the edges of creation, split the atom, sequence life, yet haven't learned to see ourselves behind another person's eyes. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=149) Every century says never. Every century once again. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=153) Different borders, different banners, same old graves, living like slaves. [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=157) And we keep begging You for miracles while the miracles pass us by. [2:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=160) Perhaps heaven isn't silent. Perhaps heaven's asking why. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=164) Does God cry when the innocent are punished for our pride? [2:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=171) Does God cry when somebody begs for mercy and is denied? [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=178) When the powerless are broken, when the hatred goes unspoken, when another heart is closing because nobody looked inside. [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=186) Does God ache when we make another enemy from fear? [3:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=193) Does God break when somebody disappears unheard, unseen, unfelt, unfeared? [3:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=202) If Your presence lives within us, then perhaps we've been asking why God permits the world to suffer while God suffers through our eyes. [3:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=212) Still a stranger runs through fire for a person they don't know. [3:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=216) Still a trembling hand holds tighter when it's almost time to go. [3:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=220) Still somebody shares their dinner though there's barely food for two. [3:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=224) Still somebody betrayed completely won't become what hatred grew. [3:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=228) Still the wounded comfort wounded. Still the grieving somehow give. [3:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=232) Still a person crushed by cruelty chooses tenderness and lives. [3:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=235) And that's the mystery that breaks me more than evil ever could. [3:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=239) How can hearts that know such darkness still remember how to be good? [4:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=243) How can someone torn to pieces, scarred by everything they've seen, still find love enough within them to become what love should mean? [4:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=252) Maybe God cries through the mother holding someone through the night. [4:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=259) Maybe God cries through the stranger saying, "You'll be all right." [4:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=266) Maybe God lives in the mercy that survives in the people given every reason to grow cruel who still choose to be kind. [4:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=275) Maybe God aches every time we teach another heart to hate. [4:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=279) Maybe God breaks every time our love arrives too late. [4:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=283) And when humanity looks upward asking why You never came, perhaps You've answered us for centuries through every suffering face. [4:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=295) We touched planets, mapped the heavens, made machines that learned our speech. [4:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=299) Still we let another human starve within our reach. [5:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=303) What is all our information if our wisdom never starts? [5:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=307) What good is searching all creation while ignoring where You are? [5:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=313) Maybe not beyond the heavens. [5:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=317) Maybe not beyond the blue. [5:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=321) Maybe every time we ask, "God, where are you?" [5:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=328) Somewhere in another broken person comes the question back anew. [5:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=333) I'm here. [5:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=336) Where are you? [5:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=340) Then become the answer you once begged Him to send you. [5:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=344) Be the hands that hold the hurting. Be the voice that carries through. [5:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=348) Because somebody tonight is asking God that question too. [5:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/N31L3whlqgr1/en/does-god-cry-suffering-faith-and-human-compassion?t=353) And perhaps they'll find Him in the love that came through you.
