When Tears Flow…

When Tears Flow…10-9-25

Psalm 56:8, "You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?" I can see the Psalmist eyes wet and cheeks moist from crying out in sorrow. And, I can see so many hurting right now. A grandmother and young sons mourning the death of a father. Another grandmother’s deep hurt over her granddaughter’s future. Her own son nearing his eternal rest. A husband and wife with eyes lifted to God in prayer for their wayward children. A daughter caring for her mother. A woman struggling with depression. Another trying to seek God’s will in her life. A man caring for his mother. A young lady suffering drug addiction. A mother whose son turned from God. All around there is hurt. There are tears. So many are flooding Heaven with pleas for God’s mercy and love. Matthew 5:4, "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted".

I have made no attempt at hiding that I love deeply, care with my whole being, and put myself out there probably more than I should. Sometimes, I just can’t stop the tears from flowing for all the hurt and sorrow. I know God is good. I know He is in control. I know that He holds all these people in His hands. His grace is sufficient. And I know that “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” ~Revelation 21:4. So I will lift my hands even when tears flow, and I praise Him. He alone is worthy to be praised.
