Tears are the rain that fall on the tree called Strength and make it grow. Tears water the roots, saturating each little one sending them firmly down into the soil so that the tree will be strong and may not fall over when the winds begin to blow hard against it.
Tears are God's way of saying that no matter what happens to us....no matter what evil befalls us.....we are not so hardened that we cannot feel. Feeling is good. Feeling is passion. Feeling is how we are made. Everything about us....our minds, our hearts, even our skin and bones feel. We are made to feel and tears are a natural extension of that feeling.
Still being able to cry, is God telling you that you haven't lost your humanity. Once you can't cry anymore you have shut yourself up so much that even your dearest and best can't get through.
I am not going to apologize for my tears anymore. I am not going to stop them when they come. The people who tell me to.....who have told me to all my life.....are wrong. Every single one of them are wrong.
Tears are cleansing. Tears are needed. Tears are God-given.
Jesus wept.

Even the Mightiest shed Tears... (Tears) are the Connection to the Spirit, and to those who ridicule, or "don't understand" the "Need" for them-they are the ones who Cannot Connect to Themselves.
And Tears of Suffering-those that fall because Others have Tried to Crush your Spirit-they are the ones that make you Strongest-even at your Weakest Moments.
Hold you head High-and always Know in Your Heart that NONE have Broken your Spirit-that despite their "professed Love" for you-it was They who Tried to Break you-Crush you-Humiliate you; and they have Failed Miserably. You have come out Victorious, and it is Their Shame that will blanket Them in Darkness as You continue to Walk in Light...
I am Praying for you...

In your words, that you have said often ..."yea what He said"
SunDancer almost quoted me directly from my heart, my friend - You are still walking in the light and their mistreatment of you will keep them in the dark. Obviously - "they" never learned the meaning of forgiveness or judgemental awareness...but they will.
Have a great weekend and I cry tears of Joy for You and you travel on your pathway. You are learning who and what to put value in - and these lessons will comfort you always
"Jesus wept."
The shortest sentence in the Bible; and yet one of the most important, because it reveals the human side of Jesus.
NEVER,EVER, apologize for, or hold back, a tear. "Jesus wept", and that's good enough for me.
Not so long ago, I lost all but three members of my family. I couldn't speak to my own parents for six years. But now I not only have ALL of my family back, I have MORE of 'em. I don't stand all that tall in God's eyes these days----you stand much taller than I----so you just wait for the blessing to come. And it will.

I think tears are a good thing.... I always feel better after I have had a good cry.
You could not have said anything that would have ministered to me more than what you said. Thank you so much . I do feel weak sometimes.....sadness overwhelms me at times and I feel powerless to control it. But other times I know that I have done all that I could to bring reconciliation and it was not accepted. I wish I knew what I did that made them hate me so, but I have accepted, at least as much as I can, that I may never know.
I have a new life that I am very happy with and having friends like you make it wonderful. Thank you.
Anyway, thanks so much for your love and support. It has meant the world to me in the past few months and I know you are are a true friend who will stick with me in the future. Love you.....
Thanks for stopping over, Whit. Your words though not many are very comforting because I know they come from your heart.
I had no idea that you had been through something like me. I need to talk to you girl. Gosh, you sound like you know just what I'm going through. Thanks for stopping over.
Thank you sooooo much. I loved that. It is perfect for me right now. I love you baby.
Thanks for your comment....I am loving hearing from you again.
The Tracks of Today's Sadness are swept Away by the Wind of Tomorrow... In Time; not only Won't they be Visible anymore-but you will No Longer have a "Need" to Try and look Back at them. You are Strong-and you have Stood Up to those who come Against you-Not with an Arrow, but with a Shield of Peace and Humility-and yet; that is not "good enough" for them? I say you are Not Weak-that you have Already Triumphed in your Battle-and if They Choose to "hate" you-then their "love" Never had Any Substance to Begin with, did it?
As far as "reconciling" is concerned; You have Already Reconciled Your Mistakes, Faults, Short-Comings, and Actions with God-and He's the Only One who Matters if things are "reconciled" or Not...
Peace, Love and Hope~

I don't know where you get all these graphics but they are sooo beautiful and so appropriate for everything I'm going through. Your words make me think that you have been through some sadness and tears of your own. Thank you for your friendship. I treasure it.
