Tears

Tears

Welling up in my eyes,
Spilling down my cheeks,
Coming one right after the other.
Is there any end to them?
Is it possible to run out of tears?

Like streams they course down my face.
I know I've spilt a river,
I've shed an ocean,
And yet they still come.
An amazing thing.

So many tears.
My sorrows,
My fears,
My hurts,
Relief that comes in small drops.

"A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself." - A.W. Tozer

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." - Corrie Ten Boom

"The Law and the Gospel are two keys. The Law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out." - William Tyndale

"Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender." -A. W. Tozer

"To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, 'Come to me and rest'.
But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too.
For them this same invitation is meant.
Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, and do not mistake it.
It is not, 'Go, labor on,' as perhaps you imagine.
On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, 'Come to me and rest.'
Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work; never, never did He send a hungry one,
a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service.
For such the Bible only says, 'Come, come, come." - Hudson Taylor
