I saw her weeping across the room...

She was a young woman and I saw her embraced by a man as she wept. They were in the vegetable section of the grocery store.

My own heart ached for her. What sorrows was she grieving? What 'trigger' brought her tears?  What agony does she carry?

Some people shun tears. I do not know if it is a form of weakness to them.  It may symbolize emotional manipulation to them. Or____?

Tears are a healthy avenue.

Psalm126:5-6

..."Those who sow in tears 

shall harvest with joyful shouting.

One who goes here and there weeping, 

carrying his bag of seed,

Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, 

bringing his sheaves with him."

We are in such a fallen world.  Agonies and losses continually add up. It is good and right to acknowledge our grief.  Tears are a part of grieving as they give a relief, a release, a venting, and an expression through a liquid emotion.  Yes, there is a time for tears.

What Joy! A day will come and it will be a marvelous day when the LORD will wipe away all of our tears! 

Praises to Him for His plan! Glory to His Name!

Revelations 21:1-4

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; 

for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, 

and there is no longer any sea.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, 

coming down out of heaven from God, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, 

“Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, 

and He will dwell among them, 

and they shall be His people, 

and God Himself will be among them,

and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; 

and there will no longer be any death; 

there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; 

the first things have passed away.” ...
