Tears

November 7, 2016

A friend
and I recently sat in the memorial service of our friend.  We dabbed our faces as tears refused to stay
hidden.  

I
remembered the days when my husband would hold me as I wept and wipe the tears
from my cheeks with his tender touch.

Who
wipes the tears from your eyes, my friend?
Some of us have siblings so close that we have shared tender moments of
wiping each others tears.

Truth be
told, most tears are wept in solitude.
Almost.  We sense the profound
aloneness that no other  human feels our
pain or is willing to share it.

But God does.
He keeps them and records them Psalm 56: 8, wipes them away
Himself,  Isaiah 25: 8, and promises
there will be no tears in Heaven.
