Lament. Tears. His Words of Assurance.

"For you, God, have put my life back together."
Psalm 4:8 (The Message)

"And now, here's what I'm going to do:
I'm going to start all over again.
I'm taking her back out into the wilderness
where we had our first fate, and I'll court her.
I'll give her bouquet of roses,
I'll turn Heartbreak Valley into Acres of Hope.
She'll respond like she did as a young girl,
those days when she was afresh out of Egypt."

Hosea 2:14-15 (The Message)

To Him, who is able to put back together what no one else can.
Remember me, Lord.
Remind me again of the days when You first brought me out of Egypt. Let me not be too quick to return to that land of sin, bondage and slavery.

I have heard it being said that this seed which has been sown into our hearts, the seed intended to grow a harvest of holiness and bear eternal fruit, is to be watered frequently by tears.
Indeed, it is to be watered frequently by tears.
