A PROPHECY FOR TEARS



A PROPHECY FOR TEARS

(2 Ki 20:5) . . . "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you . . .

My precious child . . . I see your tears. I see the agony of your soul. I understand the bitter cry of your heart and have come to comfort you. There have been times when you have cried alone, pouring out your grief until you could weep no more. There have been times your eyes have been dry but your heart was weeping . . . and groaning . . . and bleeding. Your tears have been for the oppression of your spirit. Your agony has been for the pain of a loved one. Your anguish has been over an unexpected loss that has left you numb and lifeless.

I have cried. I have grieved over a world that I have created but has rejected Me. I have lamented over the death of each soul that has rejected My free gift of grace and chosen to suffer the eternal consequences of their choices. I have cried over a city that did not recognize Me in My coming when I only wanted to gather them and nurture them with My salvation. I wept in the garden with the dark shadow of Calvary looming over My soul. I cried to My Father when dying on the cross for all of humanity. I know tears . . . and I know yours.

Each tear you have shed has not been in vain. I have collected each drop and have put them in My bottle and recorded them in My book. Each tear has been the dew that will cause each seed of promise to grow in due time. I have invested your tears in my compassion and in an expected time your sowing in tears will reap in joy. Your mourning will turn into the dance of the redeemed! I will deliver your soul from death and your eyes from tears. Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded, says the Lord!

My coming is soon. I will rescue you from this world of pain and sorrow. And I will have the privilege of wiping that last tear from your eye as I will comfort you forever and rejoice over you in My love. There shall be no more tears, no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things will have passed away. Now rest in my love and in the comfort of my Spirit. Times of refreshing will now be coming from My presence to nurture your weary soul and heal your broken heart.
