With Every Tear I Cry


Often time in our lives we have become overwhelmed with despair in our life. Yet, it has caused us to wonder, Does God Really Care? Yes, God does care. I believe that the moment you are in despair or struggling is the moment that God is trying to speak to you. It is in that moment at times when we choose not to listen to Him. I have good news for you, however!

God is a loving God. He desires on the best things for us. I am also proud to tell you that he holds every tear drop in a bottle. He longs to protect us and to give us comfort in those moments we feel alone.


"You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?"
Psalms 56:8NKJV



Is your heart breaking? Do you feel alone? Can’t seem to find God anywhere? If you have answered yes to any of these questioned then you might feel like the Psalmist wrote.

“My is serverely pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me. So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah Psalm 55:4-7NKJ

I can honestly tell you many times in my own life I have felt just like the Psalmist. Still, I am grateful to know that because I know the Lord as my Savior, He has helped me to overcome those feelings I once felt. It is a nice feeling to know that God keeps every tear I cry. He holds them in His hands. I don’t know what I would do without that. Do you?

If you are a Christian then you should know the comfort I am talking about. It is a blessing to receive this. If you are not a Christian and do not know Christ as your Savior and Lord then I take this moment to ask you, Will you? Will you come to know this Savior I am talking about! He is a wonderful, kind and caring individual. I love to call Him my Savior. It brings peace to my heart. I long to know Him more. Yet, I am grateful He will hold each tear in His hands.

Nothing can compare to that feeling. A feeling of having the almighty Savior cherish each tear that falls down my face. It drips into His bottle and is safe with Him. I ask you today that if you don’t know this Savior I am talking about then please come to know Him today. Let Him take hold of every pain in your heart and every tear you cry. He will then guide you safely to a place of rest and peace. May God Bless you in all you do!

If you don’t know this God I am referring to and would love the opportunity to get to know Him. Then I invite you to take a moment a say this simple prayer. This prayer will enable you to receive His love and the peace He can bring to your life. I pray this is your desire today. To know Him and to love Him!"

Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless.


I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend.





"Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; for I am a stranger with You, a sojourner, as all my fathers were. Remove Your gaze from me, that I may regain strength, before I go away and am no more." Psalm 39:12,13

The Real Reason We Celebrate Christmas!

Luke 2:1-21 NLT

(1) And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. (2)This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. (3)So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. (4)Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, (5)to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. (6)So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. (7) And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (8)Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. (9)And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.(10)Then the angel said to them “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. (11)”For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (12)”And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” (13)And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying; (14)”Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (15)So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” (16)And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. (17)Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. (18)And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. (19)But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. {20)Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. (21)And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

THIS YEAR LET’S REMEMBER THE TRUE REASON WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!
CHRIST IS THAT REASON!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
