This is the Way
No More Tears
May I ask you a question? When was the last time you were brought to tears? You know what I'm writing about. I mean those times when you received sobering news about a loved one's condition or simply when rotten consequences of your own choices came crashing down all around you. Scared, shocked or frightened by either sad news about others or by your own troubles, you cried. That is, we cried—for each of us has been there. If that salty fluid has filled and glistened your eyes or crept down your cheeks or touched your lips with its salty savor, then please relax and read on, for you are not alone.
Tears are part and parcel of the human condition. In describing life's seasons, Solomon poignantly shared with all of us in Ecclesiastes 3:4 that there is "a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." Since the time of Eden, since the beginning, the history of humanity has been a "trail of tears." In fact, the Bible can be called, along with its many other titles, a "book of tears." It is after all the divine diary of all shed tears—not merely man-made tears, but tears shed by God.
