Don’t fear the tears, for that’s where the healing takes place.
Like an overflow valve on a steaming pot, the pain releases somehow with incredible force. Instead of worry, choose tears.
Don’t fear the tears, just let them stream down your face.
When you finally open your heart and trust how God designed you, he opens the dam to release the flow of tears.
Don’t fear the tears, they were never meant to be contained in human bodies, so temporal and weak.
You were made weak because that’s how God can show you that he is strong.
Don’t fear the tears, that’s where he hid his transformative powers to then seek.
If you think that tears released are a sign of weakness, you’ve got it all wrong.
Don’t fear the tears, because God created this temple of yours to contain everything that it needs.
You contain everything within you… except for one very important thing.
Don’t fear the tears, because as your tears flow, God’s heart bleeds.
By crying, you are showing that you know that you can’t do it alone, and the heavens sing.
Don’t fear the tears, because our pain connects us to Jesus, whose blood flowed for your sins.
The tears flow like a river, like the living water of God’s Word.
Don’t fear the tears, because that is where the healing begins.
Letting the tears flow, you can finally fly in freedom from all you had held within, finally as free as a bird.
(Dedicated to my dear husband, Perry. Don’t fear the tears, babe. I promise that I will always provide a soft shoulder for your head. God made me weak enough to know that I can’t do it without Jesus, and strong enough to always stand by your side no matter what storm may come.)
