When tears flow
“You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?”
(Psalm 56:8 ESV)
God Sees Your Tears
Your tears are not unnoticed by God. Jesus Himself understood sorrow and wept with those who were grieving.
“Jesus wept.” (John 11:35 NIV)
Weeping does not last forever.
“Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalm 30:5 ESV)
And one day, God will remove sorrow completely.
“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.” (Revelation 21:4 ESV)
Therefore
“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!” (Psalm 126:5 ESV)
When tears flow, remember: God sees, God hears, and joy will come.
