"I MADE TEARS"
are the words from
the mouth of our precious grandson
after his first day of pre-school.
Missing his mommy & daddy
in a new environment~
"I MADE TEARS".
Oh how this pierces my heart,
as doesn't it yours~
as can't you relate?
It doesn't take much
when your heart wants to talk,
yet all you can do is
MAKE TEARS~
the release of your heart cries
of what you are deeply feeling in the moment.
Or maybe you don't
MAKE TEARS
and really want to,
yet are afraid to
because if you did
you would really have to feel what you are feeling.
We all have them
tucked inside
that we hold back
when we don't want to feel what we don't want to feel
what our heart wants to cry.
I MADE TEARS~
To feel the pain, the anguish, the sorrow & grief
and just let it flow.
What if we would stop for a moment
and feel what we may be afraid to feel
and became that vulnerable~
could we & would be
just be like
JESUS
because
HE made TEARS~
"JESUS WEPT" (John 11:35).
The shortest verse in the bible,
yet so powerful
because
The One
who is our strength in the midst of our weakness
feels our weakness
because
JESUS MADE TEARS.
And one day,
TEARS will be something of the past
that you or I will ever have to make because of the
ONE WHO WEPT~
"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."(Revelation 21:4)
