God Knows Every Tear that We Shed.

Psalm 56:8
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.


I'm using the New Living Translation of the Bible today because I like the way in which it describes our tears better. Have you ever thought about why we tear up? It's because we need to keep our eyes from drying out so they become moist. Tears symbolize pain in both a physical and emotional realm. Then again, sometimes we cry when we're happy. I know sometimes I laugh so hard that I cry!

Even though our tears are important to us, think about how many times we hide them. Society says that when we weep we're weak. This translates into hiding all of our emotions not only from others but from God. Don't worry about what the world says. It's okay to cry. God wants you to be real and honest.

In context, David seems to be a very emotional man. He absolutely loved God even though he went through so much. It seemed like there was no hope. In fact, David said that he has cried so much that no bottle could hold all his tears. Here's where God comes in though. Remember how I told you yesterday how he cares about the smallest qualities in you? That's so true. David turns to God and asks him to put all his tears in a bottle because he realizes that God really cares.

God catches your tears whenever you're going through something. David even tells us that God writes down every reason that a tear comes from our eyes. May it be comforting to know that God has caught EVERY tear. He loves you that much!

Do you cry over your relationship with God? Remember not to be distant. Do you cry over those who don't know God? I pray that God will redirect our tears in the interest of others. At the same time, come to him and give him everything that is making you cry. Let us long for God everyday as much as he cares for us.

Listen to today's song: "We Will" by Unhindered.



P.S. If you have trouble with the video stopping and starting, keep the video paused, and let it "buffer" (load) as it's called for a while. You will see the red bar along the bottom advance (speed depends on your Internet connection). Wait until that bar gets pretty far along (I'd say more than halfway) before you play the video and it shouldn't pause.

Thank you, I read this after crying over a prodigal child. I have cried out to God so many times for my child. I read this when I needed it most.

First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I've
had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?

Many thanks!

Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering
if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
