When There Are Tears

Psalms 126:5 states, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Tears are a universal language. They often tell what words will not express. Sincerely shed, they are not willing water from a handy hydrant to be turned on and off at will, but rather the natural droplets from a heart too full to be contained. Tears are the language of the heart and where there’s a heart, there can be a tear.

Watery eyes have been known to see what clear eyes could not detect. When your plight seems bleak and you can’t see your way through, take another look - through your tears. They may prove to be telescopic.
