SHARING EXPERIENTIAL TEARS IN ETERNITY-FUTURE....(SUN AM 8/23/2009)
Psalm 58:8 says: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” Tears are the liquid life of our soul. There are two sides to tears. First of all, they are written in a book. Precious are the tears that are written in God’s Book. Malachi 3:16 tells us that they are written in the Book of Remembrance. “Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. ”It is not the physical water that comes out of our eyes that gets written in His Book.

The natural water of tears is just a covering for the spiritual tears of our soul. It is our spiritual tears of gratitude and reverential fear that God writes in a Book. If we are down in the low place, the humble place, the meek place, that is called walking in the Footsteps of the Crucified Christ. So instead of weeping tears of self-pity, as we go through this life, let us weep tears of praise and thanksgiving that we have been counted worthy even to crawl in Jesus’ Footsteps on planet Earth.
