With the growing scarcity of water in our country, people are putting up JoJo tanks to capture whatever rain water they can. It is amazing how much water you can collect off your roof in a single rain-storm.
But speaking of collecting water, can you imagine if God collected our tears in a bottle/tank? The Bible actually speaks about how God actually does that for us.
Psalm 56: 8 - "You have kept count of my wanderings;
store my tears in your water-skin."
I find this an amazing thought - don't you?
There was a poem written by Deborah Ann Belka - it goes like this:
There is a
bottle up in heaven,
filling up with all your tears.
Drop by drop the Lord collects,
the full harvest of your fears.
There is not a tear that falls,
where He is not aware.
For He understands each drip,
and the cause of your despair.
When tears of unhappiness,
are followed up with grief.
He garners them in His vial,
and sends peace for your relief.
He knows the real reason,
as He gathers up your pain.
And all your hurtful tears,
to Him become like rain.
He reaps each tender trickle,
with His mercies from above.
Collects them in His bottle,
and caps them with His love.
filling up with all your tears.
Drop by drop the Lord collects,
the full harvest of your fears.
There is not a tear that falls,
where He is not aware.
For He understands each drip,
and the cause of your despair.
When tears of unhappiness,
are followed up with grief.
He garners them in His vial,
and sends peace for your relief.
He knows the real reason,
as He gathers up your pain.
And all your hurtful tears,
to Him become like rain.
He reaps each tender trickle,
with His mercies from above.
Collects them in His bottle,
and caps them with His love.
Living in Grace
