Every Tear

Fellow Labourers-

I trust you all had a wonderful week-end and is now pumped up with Godly energy to face another week one day at a time. For those of you who could not wait for the week-end to come to a screeching halt I say "The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord." I don't know which king is trying to control your life but "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Isn't it a joy to know that our tear is specific to us? When we cry God sees our individual tears and responds accordingly. He deciphers every atom and molecule in a drop of tear. No wonder the writer says "Tear is a language God understands."

I wonder if when we cry for joy the morphology of our tear differs from that of a tear for pain? Can you imagine that we are identifiable by one drop of tear. Oh the marvel of our God. The words of the prophet Jeremiah are very poignant at this point. "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters." Jeremiah 9:17&18. After we have cried down here, there will be no need to cry over in glory. Tears will never stain the street of that city. What Joy!!

Pax Vobiscum,
