Our tears so greatly move the Living God, that He stores them in treasured bottles. How precious is our God? Our God records, logs our every tear, jewel, hurt, joy, and sob in his book.
I think about a friend whose mom and dad passed away. How she is broken in two by this loss. I think of my beautiful Angel who lost her son all too early in life...This loss was never part of "Heaven's design for life on Earth."
I think of my wonderful family who brings tears of joy to my heart at the very mention of their names. I think of how I sob at the very thought of his name, how the sight of a hurting baby will cut me to the core...
I think of how the very presence of God broke me to mere tears.
We are moved to tears by deep joy or deep loss...both the essence and evidence of love. Is this why God collects our tears?
"Jesus Wept." (John 11:35). An Almighty God broken and humbled by an unbearable burden. A burden too heavy for us to carry, that He gave His life for us. Yet our hearts cry "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1) when we experience pain.
Remember ... God treasures our tears. Tears are the true jewels of humanity.
**Have a good cry and know that your tears are not shed without purpose ... **
- To salt the Earth.
- To season the soul of man.
- To bring praise to the soul of your God.
