I went all King James on you today. But I just find this particular language to be a bit more flowery than other translations, which typically read, "Why are you crying?"
I find myself asking this question multiple times a day to multiple small people. Fun fact: it isn't Harper nearly as much as one would think.
But this question, "why weepest thou?", spoken by Jesus to Mary Magdalen outside the empty tomb reveals a care and concern for her. Although she does not recognize Jesus immediately, she can feel his love.
Why weepest thou?
For lent I kept a gratitude journal. Each night before bed I wrote 3 things that I was thankful for from the day. Some days were harder than others. But looking back through my journal, I realize how much God is in the tiny details of my day-to-day.
So, why weepest thou? We are blessed beyond measure! He is risen! Nothing to cry about.
I'll leave you with some cute this Easter morning:
