‘TEARS!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 739

June 10, 2025///

We all are aware we are in a season of unrest in the weather, and it seems like storm after storm continues to be a possibility.

As I looked out the window of my kitchen this morning, I noticed how fresh everything looked after last night’s rain!

The thought occurred to me that our back yard looked like it had been restored to life from tears from heaven (rain)!

Some of you have shed buckets of tears lately for a loved one gone on to be with the lord, for a situation in your family or with your children, or a serious Doctors report!

I want to encourage your heart today that God sees every tear and He puts them in a bottle, and He will turn your mourning into Joy!

Jesus wept over Jerusalem and at the death of Lazarus!

Jesus followers wept, Mary, Martha and others wept, but their weeping turned into Joy!

The women with the Alabaster box worshipped with her tears and Jesus honored that sincere praise!

Psalm 56:8 (KJV)

Thou tellest my wanderings:

Put thou my tears into thy bottle:

Are they not in thy book?

Psalm 56:8 (TPT)

You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping.

You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost.

For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.

Do you think God wept as He had to turn His back on Jesus who was being crucified for all the wrongs we have done or will do?

What if the torrential rains we have are God’s tears of hurt over the rebellion of the world systems and people calling good bad and bad good?

What if the refreshing of the calm rain is God saying I see your tears and will turn all things for your good and my glory?

The thing we do know is that God is aware of every tear and understands our grief and pain and we will look back and say surely the Lord walked every step through this valley with me!

May we turn our tears into worship for who He is and that He is with us and will guide us each moment of every day!

Rest in His Love and cling to the promise that He will turn our mourning into dancing!

Psalm 30:11 (KJV)

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:

Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Father, thank you for understanding our grief and our pain! May each of us rest in you and cast all our care on you! May you fill each one who reads this with your peace even in the midst of tears. We worship you even through our tears and we never forget you are on our side. We will come to you, and you will give us rest! Amen!

Love, MeMaw
