Tears

Over the last few days I have shed A LOT of tears. Six years ago today my Dad died. Brian is in Colorado. Jay is acting like an idiot.

So today in my Scripture reading I come across Psalm 56:8 "You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."

God not only hurts with me, He is collecting my tears and will turn them into joy. Perhaps the tears are a way to grow more like Jesus, to be able to hurt as He hurt.

I guess if I want to be more like Jesus, I have to be willing to hurt. I pray these things we are going through will bring glory to God. I simply want to reflect the love of my Savior.
