They Wept With Us

This past two years have been challenging ones for our family. During this time, God's presence, comfort, and strength have been incredible. He cared for our heartbreak. He cared for our tears.

Psalm 56:8, 
"You Yourself have recorded my wanderings.[a]
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your records?"

Often, we do not know what to say to those who are going through grief. We found that those who simply came along side us meant the most. There were several friends who quietly wept with us. As I shared the latest challenges, I watched as the tears fell from their eyes. They embodied Christ's love as they fulfilled Christ's love. They didn't know what to say; they simply cried with me.

Romans 12:15,

"15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep."

Not long ago, a friend was going through a similar trial of grief. I didn't know what to say. And so, I simply wept with her. 

Sometimes, silence and tears speak the loudest.
