God Sees Our Tears!
"Those who sow in
tears shall reap in
joy."
Psalm 126:5
There are many kinds of tears. Some come
from chopping onions. Others come from a fit
of laughter. A sad movie can turn on the water
works. Even smoke from a campfire can make
eyes water. Babies begin their lives with tears.
Tears are important for lubricating our eyes
and flushing away debris.
When we think of tears, we usually think of
burdens. God sees our tears as seeds.
Each
tear shed in grief, disappointment, pain, or
emotional distress is like a seed that falls
from our eyes and lands in the garden
of God’s grace.
He knows the meaning behind
every drop, and none of them
are unnoticed by Him.
Psalm 126:5 tells us that somehow our tears
will produce a harvest of joy. How can that be?
We don’t fully understand the scope of God’s
grace, the power of His providence, and the
depths of His mercy.
But every promise in the Bible is true,
so
you can adopt Psalm 126:5 as your
own today.
"Look unto Jesus
even
through your
tears."
Dr. Joseph Parker
