Faith and Tears

This isn't going to be much of a post. I have to confess that I woke up this morning to discover that my big girl pants had fallen off overnight. But, you know what? The presence of tears is not the absence of faith. We are to bear one another's burdens and we suffer when our loved ones suffer. In that God is glorified. I have seen Him in the midst of a stage three cancer diagnosis. I have seen Him in the supernatural grace and peace that is upholding Summer and Jeremy. I have seen Him in the response of the body of Christ over the last several months leading up to this. I have seen Him and believe I will continue to see Him in greater measure. I'm standing in faith, tears and all, knowing that our hope is not in an outcome, but it's in a person. In fact it is a person. The only source of lasting hope is God...Yahweh...Jehovah...Jesus, the creator of all things, Who holds all things together and Who sits interceding for us, day and night. I'm standing there. And I'm not moving.

  1. I'm so glad you posted this....thank you for sharing your heart. My heart has been aching and my eyes have been dripping (Gray's words) but my faith is strong in a God who sits on HIS throne and rules HIS children.

  3. Psalms 56:3-4, 8 (NKJ)

    3. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
    4. In God (I will praise His word)
    In God I have put my trust; I will not fear.
    What can flesh do to me?

    8. You number my wanderings; put my tears into
    Your bottle; are they not in Your book?

    Psalm 55:22(NKJ)

    Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you;He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

    SO DON'T MOVE!! STAND FIRM IN FAITH IN HIM AND IN HIS WILL. KEEP PRAYING AND BELIEVING!!
