Tears are a vital part of life. I pity the man or woman who has lost their tears. God gives us tears to release the pain or the joy that might otherwise cause us to explode.
I've been with families when a loved one has died and heard someone say to a dear lady who has lost her husband, "Now, you've got to be strong." No -- you don't have to be strong -- you can be weak.
The Bible tells the believer that our real strength comes from weakness. Gods gives us tears to release the emotions that are inside of us -- whether tears of ...
