Those who sow in tears will reap in joy..

Hi family and friends..

Greetings...

Tears shed at our Lord's feet is never in vain.

Tears move God's heart. Tears are usually associated with women but men cry too!

 When we are overwhelmed with joy, pain, sadness, separation, 

our eyes swell up with tears.

The Bible says...

 PSALM 126:5 Those who sow in tears
       will reap with songs of joy.

But here I write about the tears of a praying woman.

The tears of a woman who prays (that may be our mother, grand-mother, wife, sister, friend) can do wonders.

When a woman cries out to God (well He'll listen to the cries of men too) God's heart is moved. He keeps a record of every tear.

PSALM 56:8 "Record my lament;
      list my tears on your scroll
       are they not in your record? "

These tears shed at the Lord's feet can result in healing of the sick, bring restoration, save a prodigal son, a rebellious daughter or change a spouse who's an alcoholic or a friend struggling with an addiction.

Jesus Christ our Lord, cares for all that concerns us. When we are discouraged and feel no one understands let's remember our Lord keeps even a record of our tears.

Isn't that comforting?

PSALM 39:12 "Hear my prayer, O LORD,
       listen to my cry for help; 

Even as we sow in tears we'll reap in joy!!

As we bow down before HIM & lay our burdens at His feet with tears, we'll rise up with joy!! 

Tears move God's heart.

In Luke 7:10-15, we see a widow cry over the death of her only son and Jesus was touched and told her not to cry and raised her son from the dead.

Luke 7:13 "When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."

 14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother."

Today when we cry about situation that may seem dead and lifeless to us, God will give us hope by giving life and reviving that situation.

Again in Luke 7:36-43, we see a woman who lived a sinful life came and sat at the feet of JESUS and wet His feet with her tears.

Luke 7: 37 "When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping,

she began to wet his feet with her tears.

Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them."

People around her did not understand but Jesus seen her repentant heart, her love and noticed every tear she shed at His feet.

Luke 7:44 "Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

Today let's take all that burdens us to our Lord in prayer. Let's cry out to Him and He will hear us, He will help us and give the desires of our hearts.

Be blessed,

God notices our tears...

There are days all you can do is pray and there are days you find it hard to pray but just cry but know tears are prayers too, God hears hears, sees understands and He's right there by your side holding you close, wiping your every tear, recording our misery.

Well our Heavenly Father never promised a life free of trials and tears.
But He did promise to be with us and He does keep a record of our every tear drop.

Psalm 56:8 "Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[a] —
  are they not in your record?"

Tears move God's heart.
In Luke 7:10-15, we see a widow cry over the death of her only son and Jesus was touched and told her not to cry and raised her son from the dead.
Luke 7:13 "When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."
14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother."

Again in ...Luke 7:36-43, we see a woman who lived a sinful life came and sat at the feet of JESUS and wet His feet with her tears.
 Luke 7: 37 "When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, 38and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. 
Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them."

It's better to cry at the feet of Jesus Christ our Lord, instead of crying about our situation.

It's good to be crushed at times, we learn a lot even in times of trials and pain. Even when we lie in bed feeling run down and in pain, God will come when we call out, He will minister to us, heal us and raise us up!

No matter what the enemy brings your way to discourage you, refuse to be discouraged.

The Bible says.." Jesus wept" . ( John 11: 35) 
How profound are those words that as we weep that our God weeps with us.
Now that is Love !

 ‎" WHAT GROWS FROM YOUR TEARS "
" Sometimes the tears just flow. Burdens get so heavy and decisions so difficult that your natural response is to weep.God knows the tears you have cried, and he honors every one of them by transforming them into seeds of hope. he produces a harvest of virtues within you - righteousness, humility, faith, and perseverance all grow from your weeping.
Rejoice that your tears are not in vain. God cultivates each glistening drop and transforms it into a blessing. When you see what God has done in you and how he has worked in your situation, you will also have a harvest of truly unshakable joy...
Dear God, I praise you that one day I will shout with joy over the harvest of virtues you have produced from my tears. Amen !

Tears are prayers too....(Compiled)

" TEARS ARE PRAYERS,TOO "

( Something to think about ...) ~Author Unknown~ Are we afraid the tears won't stop falling down like rain? That we might drown as we fight our fears . God bottles every tear that we cry. Think about it. We have cried oceans and rivers of tears of grief and sorrow as well as tears of happiness and joy since time began . Tears that travel to God even when we can't speak. These tears are prayers to God on the deepest level .

It is a known fact that in Bible-lands and other middle eastern countries there was a tradition that when someone died, tears of those present were collected and placed in a bottle. This bottle was considered sacred for it represented all the sorrow of the family and was buried with the deceased. Many of these bottles have been found in ancient tombs. In ancient Rome, mourners filled small glass vials or cups with tears and placed them in burial tombs as symbols of love and respect. Sometimes people were even paid to cry into cups, as they walked along the mourning procession . Those crying the loudest and producing the most tears received the most compensation. The more anguish and tears produced, the more important and valued the deceased person was perceived to be. In some war stories, women were said to have cried into tear bottles and saved them until their husbands returned. Their collected tears would show the men how much they were loved and missed.  God collects them to let us know he cares and takes notice of us not only when we cry tears of sorrow, pain, anguish, repentance , confession , and joy but in every thing we do and say. God notices all our wanderings in this short earthly pilgrimage of ours. He loves us so much and is ever touched by our burdens, our anguish of heart , and feelings of infirmities. If you notice that these tears are recorded in a book. The book is God' s book of remembrance. Every word of tender pity, every act of sacrifice, every suffering, and sorrow for Christ's sake is faith fully recorded. It amazing how one so powerful can love one so lowly as to know every tear that has fallen. He catches it one by one in his hands . To bottle them up for a time that is to come.   " 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) So remember that your tears do not fall in vain. There is one who holds each one in a bottle and writes it down in his book of remembrance. And I feel like that as he does this he feels our pain, too. He felt the pain of those mourning for Lazarus and the Bible says, " Jesus wept" . ( John 11: 35) How profound are those words that as we weep that our God weeps with us.
Now that is Love ! Now I know what people MEAN when they say that a Christian should become “broken.” They really mean bringing the body ( flesh ) and soul ( mind, will and emotions) under the control of the spirit.
And that IS completely scriptural ! But that process, starting with the renewal of the mind, is a process of becoming WHOLE ! You (the real you) are a spirit, you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you live in a body ( your Earth suit). When the Bible refers to your “heart” it’s not refer ring to your “blood pump.” In the Bible the HEART is the combination of your SPIRIT and SOUL. When you are born-again, your SPIRIT is renewed but your SOUL is not. Therefore even the born-again Christian can still have a broken HEART.  It was completely broken, but now that your SPIRIT is made new, your HEART is half way healed. Now through the Word of God, The Name of Jesus and the broken body of Jesus we are instructed to begin the process of the renewal of the mind. Once that process is under way, the will and emotions will follow. The further you progress through this renewal process, the more WHOLE your heart becomes." " God is so big He can cover the whole world with His Love,
and so small He can curl up inside your Heart."

Tears

Tears can be an expression of pain, fear, joy.
It can also mean a thank you note.
It can mean words unpoken.
But I'm happy to know every drop of my tear is treasured in the King's (My Lord JESUS CHRIST'S) Archive!!
