Recently I have had some interesting conversations about tears. The other day at cell I shared about tears that came to me on the past 2 Sundays in church, and some of what brings me to tears. Others shared also. Then this morning I had the TV on while I was getting ready(my whole 1 channel!), and a commercial for Kleenex came on that had a line that really caught my attention:
"tears don't compromise your strength"
Interesting.
When arriving at work some time after that, I received an e-mail from a friend who shared about some of the tears she had shed this past weekend and what God was revealing to her through them(I don't think she'll mind me sharing!): "he was just saying how it was a time of cleansing, he wouldn't tell me exactly what, but he was cleansing me.... but the weird thing is that he also said he was strengthening me.... in me crying his strength was building up in me."
Very interesting.
I love how God brings things together for us. This past weak has been a tough one for me and my relationship with Jesus. Tough because I've been ignoring His friendship and everything He has been doing, through tears and other signs, to get my attention. This morning, before seeing the commercial, I started working on that; I repented, spend time in the word and prayed fervently for desire and love.

In our weakness and it times when we don't understand, His strength is sufficient. Praise the Lord for building us up!
