Those Tears Are Part Of God's Design
There are times when we
suffer through sorrow or pain
because life deals us a terrible blow.
And try as we might, as hard as we fight
the tears fall like a strong river's flow.
And though we keep going
through the pain that we feel,
we can't stop the tears once they start.
For they are the proof of the hurt that we carry
from a wounded and sad, severed heart.
Yet, what we don't realize or somehow forget
is those tears are part of God's design.
He made us to feel...emotions that are real
and to love with the heart, soul and mind.
As deep as the ability God gave us to love
is the depth we will also feel sorrow,
When we're faced with the unwanted losses of life
and that heartache is still there tomorrow.
It's not a sign of weakness to shed tears of grief
and admit that you need time to cry.
For it can strengthen your faith when you run to the Father
and let Him touch those same tears as they dry.
God allows the anguish that drives us to tears
and every grief that we don't understand,
Because He is the keeper & sustainer of our souls
who holds comfort and peace in His hands.
