I believe in a God who wept.
Who knew loss and sadness for himself.
I believe in a God who cries with us.
Who knows intimately our losses and fears
And holds us in them.
I believe in a God who wipes away our tears,
Not because there is any shame in them,
But as an act of comfort,
A way to say: “I see you, I am right here.
I know how much your heart hurts.”
I believe in a God who loves us
And is faithful to us.
In every season of our hearts and lives.
It is in this God of Tears that I believe.
Amen.
