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 56:8 NLT Bible

Crying is a normal reaction to different situations. We cry when we're sad and sometimes when we're happy. Many people view tears as a sign of weakness, but that is so far from the truth. Our tears speak volumes and express what we have difficulty saying. So many times we come to God with our problems and all we can do is weep in His Presence, because our spirits are crushed and we feel overwhelmed by the burdens. God cares and He sees our tears and has a record of them. What really causes us to weep? Sometimes it's because of sickness, grief, friends and family who are hurting or lonely, those who are lost and need Jesus and so much more. Whatever the cause for our tears, we need to know that God identifies with our pain and is touched by our weeping.

God is compassionate and caring and, in His time, He will answer. He understands and knows the reason for every tear we shed. Psalm 126:5 tells us that when we sow in tears, we will reap in joy. As we cry out to God, our weeping expresses the pain and concern that's buried deep within us, and He keeps track of our sorrow. Tears bring relief, release, assurance and peace. Our spirits are lifted and we can look forward to the answers that will ultimately come, in God's time. 

Thank you, Lord, for Your compassion. You see my tears and know the reason for them. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed and all I can do is weep in Your Presence. Lord, I thank you for caring about me and I know that You will answer. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
