Dear Self,
I know no one else saw that single tear roll down the face of your heart today, but God did. He felt that moment of sadness that went unnoticed by everyone else. No one else saw it, but He did!
In fact, God holds all your tears in a jar. Not a single one is missed. Not a single sad or heart-wrenching moment goes unfelt by Him.
Self, Jesus carried that jar of tears with him on the cross. He died for the sin and pain that caused those tears.
So Self, reach out to God when a tear slips down your face, because He wants to wipe that tear away. He’s holding out joy for your sadness and He’s holding out hope and a future for your despair.
Self, do you see that mason jar? That’s where God keeps track of all your tears.
Me
Psalms 56:8 says, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” (NLT)
Take the challenge: Let God wipe away those tears from your heart.
