“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.” -Washington Irving
“You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren’t they in your book?” – Psalm 56:8, WEB
Sometimes, when all just seems to be painful, just let it go and cry. God understands you. He is not afraid of your tears.
He knows how difficult it is to live in this land of exile. We are not yet home, and many days, all we meet are strangers who don’t seem to care for us at all.
Just let it go. Pray with your heart. Words are sometimes insufficient to express the depths of our hurt, but tears will always know how to find a way. God bless the tears that cleanse the heart and bring us closer to Him who hears all our cries.
Jesus made tears sacred, because he cried. He knew the agony and frustration of our problems. He chose to bear all that is human, and to bring it with him on his return to the Father. The One who sits at God’s right hand knows what it is to cry. – Kathryn James Hermes, Surviving Depression
Jesus wept. – John 11:35, WEB
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
