Tears

Tears mean a lot of different things.

To me, they can be a sign of joy and relief. as well as the expression of love.

Pain, longing, compassion, bitterness, loneliness, feelings of being overwhelmed...relief, healing, vulnerability, misunderstanding, (or being understood profoundly) physical, emotional or spiritual pain, travail, fear, again Longing. . .

Tears of Joy when good news is told, tears can also be very cleansing.

When I was a kid, I clung to the verse of the Bible that said that God holds all our tears in a bottle. I selfishly longed for all of his love. I clung to this promise and cried all my tears out to him... knowing that He cherished me was enough.

Knowing that my pain was not stupid, but that He saw and He was capable of comforting me. And He did.

Jesus says that in this world we will face trouble...but take heart!
I have overcome the world!!!

We will only be here on earth for a time. We will spend eternity with the Father when we live for him.

The heavens and the earth will pass away, but the Word of God remains forever!!!!

That makes me SO CONTENT!!! He is ALWAYS with us! He has promised to be our guide forever as we remain in His LOVE.

He sees your tears... and He understands, when no one else does.

Your friend.
