Your Tears Are Safe In The Arms Of Jesus
Choosing to be vulnerable is not easy. There is this negative thought in our head that would hinder us from being honest with what we feel. We find ourselves building walls so that others will no longer see our wounded hearts. We choose to keep everything on our own, thinking that it’s the best thing to do. But then, we will eventually feel exhausted because we are not created to bury our feelings. We need to release the emotions we feel inside so that they won’t poison us in the end. And if, by chance, you are still having a hard time sharing your heart with others, then know that…

Let God Record Your Miseries And List All Your Tears
Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll—are they not in your record? Psalms 56:8, NIV Have you ever experienced that moment when you just can’t stop the tears from falling? No matter how much you try to hide everything, you just felt so weak and exhausted by the pain and the unexpected situation that happened. It drains your soul. Somehow, it kills your hope. These days of miseries were not new to David. Just like you, he also went through moments of brokenness because of the people around Him. David knew what wickedness was all about because he was once surrounded by people who twisted his words, and…

To The One Who Is Holding Back The Tears
You may find it hard to express what you truly feel to the people around you, but you deserve to be heard. If you can’t do it in front of others, then don’t hesitate to be honest in God’s presence. Go to your room, lock the door, and pour out to God everything. Tell Him the truth. Do not hold back the tears because it’s part of the process. Just because you cry doesn’t mean you are weak. It just means you bravely acknowledged the wounds you wanted God to heal. He is not intimidated by your questions. So release everything in His presence, and you will receive His strength.…

There is Power in your Tears
It’s hard to deal with things that you can’t see. I wish we had the right lens to magnify the real things inside. The wounds in our hearts. The past that we can’t forget. The traumas we’ve been through. The pain that we can’t let go. All those things are invisible. We can’t physically touch or see them, but they are real. Sometimes, they are more real than the victories you experienced in life. They are bigger than the excitement that you have for the future. The tears are more evident than the smile and laughter. But even if, most of the time, the reason for your tears is so…

John 11: 35, NIV
Jesus wept. John 11:35, NIV Jesus is also a human. He has emotions, and He also feels sad. When his dear friend Lazarus died, Jesus wept and poured out His sadness through His tears. You see, Jesus can absolutely relate to you. If by chance you lose someone you love, then may this shortest verse in the bible remind you that Jesus understands what’s in your heart. He felt the same thing when He lost His friend Lazarus. But the amazing part is, even though He knew that he would still rise from the dead, Jesus still allowed Himself to feel sad. This is a reminder for us that it’s…

When the burden is too heavy, Come to God and Cry it out to Him
Sometimes, the best thing to do is just to cry. People may think that you are weak and so vulnerable, but your tears have the power to purify your soul. Pour them out to God and tell Him everything. He knows the background story. You don’t even have to explain everything. He knows the reasons behind your tears. And even before you want to defend yourself in the presence of God, He is already fighting with you. Even before the very first drop of tears came out in your weary eyes, your loving Father is already doing some miracles behind the scene. He is sending His angels to comfort and…

Sometimes, the Best that you can do is Allow the Tears to Flow
We can’t always put into words everything that is going on in our hearts. Sometimes, all we can do is pour out all the pain inside and allow the tears to flow. The deepest pain is indescribable.

Sometimes, God will ask you to do Things that you Think you Hate
Our journey with God won’t always be smooth and perfect. Sometimes, we need to go through the seasons that we badly hate. We need to do things that we don’t want to do. But for the sake of God, we will be pushed to take steps outside our comfort zone. It takes faith and humility to finish the journey. And it’s not that God wants to punish us. There are just things in life that we can only learn in the wilderness. So if you think that God is pushing you to your limits, then it simply means that He prepared a growth journey that will surely take you to…
