LET IT FLOW

A single tear can hold an entire prayer. 

No tears!  First this reminds me of when I was a little girl and No More Tangles, do you remember that?  Then it reminds me of hardness.  People who have experienced certain situations in their lives become hard.  They don’t allow themselves to have tears, ever.  I use to be that way, no tears no way!  I was one strong cookie; no one was going to see me cry. Then one day I changed for the better.  I cry at everything, I cry when I sing, I cry just because, I cry when I laugh and I cry when I’m sad. 

Every one has tears but some times these tears aren’t evident.  I read an article that said from the writer’s point of view that someone who doesn’t cry reveals a dry and hard heart.  Such a heart has a void of feeling an insensitivity of stone.  This article went on to say that nothing discloses the inward state of a human heart more than do tears.

When you look at tears from the spiritual side you will find in the Bible that the Lord shed tears, he had joy, however you won’t find any laughing in the bible just tears.  Isn’t that interesting?  At Bible study we were discussing how we cry because we have allowed the Holy Spirit to live deep within us.  Tears have brought us closer to Him.  Our bodies have been taken over by the Lord. When we allow ourselves to be filled with the Holy Spirit the characteristic of hardness diminishes and we are full of compassion, joy, peace, love, the Fruits of the Sprit are evident within us.  God loves us when we cry, when we laugh, when we are happy and when we are sad.  God values everything about us, even our tears.  Just like He knows how many hairs are on our head he knows the reason behind ever tear shed.  As in Psalm 56:8 Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record?  He knows every problem so when we feel discouraged remember He is in the midst of every tear. 

 Tears cleanse us, they strengthen us, they help us, and they heal us.  Tears are an outlet from our heart, they release stress.  Let the tears cleans your eyes so you will see more clearly.  Instead of singing LET IT GO sing LET IT FLOW!
