Tears remind us that in our heavenly Father's care there is understanding and compassion, there is mercy and forgiveness, there is hope and opportunity. After sorrows and tears come joy and smiles. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. God allows the tearful sorrows of life that we may rejoice in the blessings that shall yet be. God always holds the richest of our blessings for a future time, when with a resurrected and revitalized form, we will abound unto greater glory.
Tears are a reminder of the temporary.
Life is designed to have its disappointments and defeats, its tear wrenching experiences, for it is the but the training ground of the future.
