Jeremiah was called a 'weeping' prophet. David believed God kept his tears in a bottle. Paul served in humility and tears. Hmm!
Tears of joy/exhilaration, tears of sorrow/grief, tears of frustration/pain, tears of humiliation/hurt, tears of repentance/renewal. Wow, so many life events that can bring tears, yet we seem to hold on to them like they're gold. Granted no one likes a crybaby, but life at times kind of demands such a response from us depending on the circumstances. It's not a sign of weakness as some would have you think, it's a sign of our humanity - our spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical being. You do have to sometimes wonder why God made us with eyes that 'leak.' Could it be because He knew there would be no more tears in heaven.
Until tomorrow....
