The Language of Tears!

I don't pretend to know a  lot about tears, but when I shed tears I know I have expressed something deep within which words cannot express adequately. Tears are expressions of the soul!  I love tears!  Tears flows not from the eyes but from the soul deep within! Tears makes you vulnerable and open!  Tears breaks down barriers. Tears releases the soul and the emotions, relieves burdens and tensions. Tears are the stepping- stones for the soon coming smiles and laughters!

The language of tears could be many, but I will confine myself to my own experience. I shed tears most when I am in the presence of  the Lord!  Whatever the situations and circumstances may be, I believe, among many things, tears say:

  • I am sorry: Sorry for failing you. Sorry for hurting you.
  • I am so happy!  I do not deserve it but you have given me anyway! I have hurt you, but you still loved me! 
  • I love You!  Yes, I love you! I love you so much!
  • I am overwhelmed & helpless: with sorrow, pain, burden, guilt, shame! Please help me!
  • I am broken and vulnerable:  Handle me with care!
  • I understand!   I know what you feel. I am with you all the way. 
  • I forgive you! Please come, let me embrace you!
  • This is who I am, I'm not ashamed!  I am an open book! Love me as I am.
