A LESSON IN  CRYING


READ:
Revelation  21:1-7


_____________________________
Blessed are those who mourn,  for they shall be comforted.
-Matthew 5:4
____________________________


Has your heart ever been  broken?  What broke it?  Cruelty?  Failure?  
Unfaithfulness?  Loss?  Perhaps you've crept into the darkness  to cry.
It's good to cry.  "Tears  are the only cure for weeping," said Scottish 
preacher George MacDonald.  A little crying does one good.
Jesus wept at His friend  Lazarus' grave (John 11:35), & He weeps w/us
(v. 
33).  His heart was  broken as well.  Our tears attract our Lord's 
lovingkindness & tender  care.  He knows our troubled, sleepless nights. 
His heart 
aches for  us when we mourn.  He is the "God of all comfort, who comforts
us 
in all  our tribulation" (2 Cor. 1:3,4).  And He uses His people to
comfort 
one  another.
But tears & our need for  comfort come back all too frequently in this 
life.  Present comfort is  not the final answer.  There is a future day
when 
there will be no death,  no sorrow, no crying, for all these things will
"have 
passed away" (Rev.  21:4).  There in heaven God will wipe away every
tear.  
We are so  dear to our Father that He will be the one who wipes the tears

away from our  eyes; He loves us so deeply & personally.
Remember, "Blessed are those  who mourn, for they shall be comforted: 
(Matt. 5:4).  -David  Roper
Think of a land of no  sorrow,
Think of a land of no  fears,
Think of no death & no  sickness,
Think of a land of no tears.  -Anon.

God cares & shares in our  sorrow.


If you love only  those who love you, what good is that?  . . . If you
are 
friendly only to  your friends, how are you different from anyone else?
