Not a single tear is wasted or unnoticed by the Lord. During these times of sorrow and feeling like our tears are in vain, it’s crucial to lean on the truth that God is close to the brokenhearted. It’s in these moments of vulnerability that our faith is both tested and strengthened. Let your tears be a prayer when words fail you. Remember, Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35), showing us that sorrow is a part of the human experience, one that He fully understands and shares in with us.
In these trials, your faith is refined, and your character is built. James 1:2-4 encourages us to consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds because the testing of our faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. May you find comfort in knowing that your tears are never in vain but are a language that God understands intimately. Lean on Him, and He will provide the peace and comfort you need during this time.
