Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll - are they not in your record? Psalm 56:16
There isn't a single tear that has been shed that God has not recorded. Every time I've felt abandoned by those who loved me, He knew it. Every time I have been the cause of my own pain, He watched me. I may not fully comprehend why I react as I do to certain things in life today, but God understands. He was there standing beside me when I was hurt each time. And He was crying with me.
Lord, I am often surprised at how sad or angry little circumstances can make me. Tiny offenses are mountainous. Am I too sensitive? Or am I merely afraid that I will eventually drown in the ocean that has formed by my tears? Life can be painful, but You are the Healer. Thank You for the ways I have been healed. Turn the tears of pain from my youth into tears of joy. Thank You for all Your blessings!
