The Salt in Us.

A good friend shared with me something a few days ago. She said there's something about tears that's so beautiful. Although the society judges people who cry as weak and useless, but God keeps count of every tear we shed, same as how He knows every strand of hair each person has.

"Tears are God's gift to us." Aye, it's true. The world despises tears; God comforts the person who cries. The world hides its tears and pretends to be strong; God says in me there is no condemnation, a broken and contrite heart I will not despise.

A tear a day
Washing coloured lenses away
May we see the world through God's eyes
To see the silent cries we hide a
Though sometimes they appear in the night
But darkness surrounds and deceives
Behind close doors is where they should be
Truth is, they only grow in strength
Brokeness. Vulnerability. Meekness.
Tears reveal our condition for healing
Through tears of forgiveness
Healing we shall receive
From God that is, our Restorer.


"Before the world began/ you were on His mind/ And every tear you cry is precious in His eye/ because of His great love/ He gave his only son...."
