Leviticus 14:33-57; Psalm 119:41-72; Mark 5:1-20
You have delivered…my eyes from tears. Psalm 116:8 NKJV
It is astounding the emotions that can be squeezed into a single tear. We may think they come from our eyes but a tear begins its journey in our heart. Broken with emotions it cannot contain, our heart compresses them into a tear and releases it onto our cheek. From there it makes a slow journey down towards the heart from whence it came. Is there a tear today? What is it made of? A wrenching farewell to a beloved one? A bitter disappointment? A dream that didn’t come true? A frightening diagnosis? A longing
for youthful days gone by? Failure? Loneliness? He knows. He cares. And soon He will wipe our last tear away. —S. McEachern
There’s not an hour that He is not near us, No night so dark,
but His love can cheer us, There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus.
No, not one! No, not one! —J. Oatman
