When The Tears Fall

When the pain is seemingly insurmountable. When hopes and dreams, like delicate flowers, slowly begin to reblossom, only to be trampled and blown by another torrent of sorrow and loss and despair. When longings and desires leave us desperate and thirsty and empty handed once more:

His Love is greater still.

And although we may not see, and although we may not understand, His Hand is still upon us. 

As we go about our days. As we move from place to place. His Love doesn't leave us. 

He does not abandon us. 

And the ache we feel and carry with us is a steadfast reminder that this is not our Home.

And as empty handed as we are, we lift them up to praise Him. And we are blessed beyond measure. Filled with Hope and Peace beyond what we could ever understand. He meets us in our suffering, and we begin to identify with the Cross more and more. We are purified, renewed, healed, and redeemed.

And adorned with the HOPE that one day we will see His complete REDEMPTION with our very eyes. 

And He will wipe every tear away. 

15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Revelation 7:15-17
