God's Tears
GOD’s Tears
Yesterday I ventured out for a daily prayer walk, in a fine mist rain. At the end of that walk, I heard in my spirit, these are God’s tears. I sensed that the waters you see, and the volume of rains covering many places these days, are indicative of the sorrow God is experiencing over our land, over the world. I sensed strongly God is weeping, and grieving over the violence, lawlessness, Godlessness and compromise in the world today. Remember even “Jesus wept!’ John 11:35 NIV
I got the sense HE was particularly sad over the condition of His Body, on the earth. I found myself wondering at this point if HE had reached the level of sorrow that He had after man fell, and darkness and debauchery had covered the earth, in the days of Noah. God pronounced that He was sorry that He had made man. Genesis 6:6
I felt sad that with all God had done, and has done, and is doing, it seems like we as a people have been caught up in the horizontal. We have lost our Kingdom mentality. Truly although we are sojourners on this planet, we have become worshippers and lovers of things, money, themselves and not of other people. In all of this His love relentlessly pursues us. I wonder if Jesus experiences rejection?!
I found myself asking God for forgiveness for not only areas in my life that have disappointed Him, but on behalf of the human race at large, and for those making Him weep. I got the sense that seeing those that call themselves His, and were not walking in truth and light, were the major source of His tears.
What does one do when they see one crying? You want to wipe away their tears. We need to be light in this dark world, and experience His joy, and be a joy to Him in every area of our lives. Shouldn’t we want to wipe His tears, with repentance and returning unto our first love?
Lord let us take seriously your heart, and seek you, and repent from our wicked ways, and live solely and wholly for You. Let us return to our first love, You. Let obedience be our hallmark, and bring Holiness back as the standard. Father, we are sorry and want to wipe Your tears away, with lives that represent truly who you are. More of You Lord and less of us Father. Bring Your church back to its roots, and unity like never before. Let Your light shine in us, and when we are seen, what is visible to this world, is You!
Though weeping endures the night, joy comes in the morning. Let us be Your morning joy. Psalm 30:5
We want to be Sons that shine for You. Amen
