Shed a Tear

Tears are natural parts of life ... 
God washes the skies on a regular basis
We were given tear ducts ...

Tears of joy
Tears of sorrow
Tears of laughter

Even Jesus wept

Genesis 21:17
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying.

Psalm 40: 1
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.

We do not cry alone
We cry and the Lord hears our tears.

Our tears of joy
Our tears of loneliness
Our tears of fear.

Yet in the tears we see the world
As the drop falls from the leaf 

For whom do you cry this evening?
