Were you every told "be strong, don't cry"? I was conditioned to believe it was a sign of weakness and learned to endure pain. This is not true!
My relationship with Christ has been an ongoing journey of tears...those of excitement, joy, happiness, laughter, fear, sorrow, pain and struggle, agony, disappointment, brokenness and meltdowns. Each type is important in the journey...it's awesome to know that God sees every teardrop and cares about every one.
Psalm 56:8
... "You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book."
Psalm 126:5
"Those who plant in tears
will harvest with shouts of joy."
2 Samuel 22:34
"He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.
Psalm 18:32
"It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure."
There are healing in tears!
Ok...so when was the last time you gave yourself permission to have a "good cry?" I'm due for one!
