Tears of Compassion
Each of our tears is precious to the Lord, for each is an expression of our heart's cry. His ears are always open; His heart is always touched by the tears of His children. He is moved with tremendous compassion when we are brought to the place of tears.
It is His desire to develop in us that same compassion. May we learn to weep as readily for others as we do for ourselves. May we develop a greater capacity for compassion through each tear we cry. . .
It is my prayer that your tears become a fountain of blessing. Mingled with the tears of many of God's children, may our tears together become a mighty river of compassion -- used by God to bless and heal a hurting world.
For a tear of compassion
begins in the heart;
It is born in cries of love,
And carried on the wings of
our own pain,
Will accomplish the intent
from above.
