I had a great heaving of tears this afternoon stemming from feeling the pain of rejection! The picture reflects exactly how I cry. Always the hands to the face. Even alone, as in shame!
Despite my pain and its purpose towards healing, the tears felt good to release!
I so hear you about the good release found in crying... and how it feels shameful sometimes to cry.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a comfort to know that God catches all our tears on His bottle.
Hugs,
Cheri
PS - You have a couple awards at my blog.
Sometimes it feel good to let it out
ReplyDeleteIn times of pain sometimes it’s best....
ReplyDeleteTo be and not to say
Hugs my friend. I too have been crying a lot.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I just told myself today that I never want to go through anything but the 'anythings' make me stronger. We wouldn't know God's comfort if we didn't cry sometimes. Bless you for your REALNESS.
ReplyDeleteCrying is such a gift.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you can release your grief in this way... so that you can one dat feel more joy.
Your in Gods perfect plan tears and alll.
ReplyDelete"The tears streamed down, and I let them flow as freely as they would, making of them a pillow for my heart. On them it rested." ~St. Augustine
ReplyDeleteTears can be healing.
May you experience today the comfort of the God of all comfort.
Yes, those tears do have a purpose. Letting them out really does bring healing. Keep being real!
ReplyDeletePraising GOD with you for HIS continued healing of your heart and life.
ReplyDeleteHugs, prayers, and love, andrea
May God cover you with His comfort, love and grace. Blessings to you JBR.
ReplyDeleteAwww Sis,
ReplyDelete((((Hugz))) I so wish I was there to be with you, maybe not so much to say anyting but sit with you, pray, and just give you a hug of sisterness. I was there on Friday nigt, all of a sudden I just felt a loneliness, I was missing my Mom and Dad, and Had the flu really bad, and just going through such a hard time. But God takes our tears and puts it in his bottle and remembers them, and ministers to our spirit. You are so loved, and I cherish your sisterness.
Luv ya Lorie
Tears wash the windows of the mind. Somebody somewhere said that in a meeting and it stuck with me. Had my own cleansing tears twice this week. The message of today's sermon in my church was: God loves us just as we are, broken, sinful, simple human beings. I felt His love cover me, and tears came again! What's up with that? The windows of my mind, being washed.
ReplyDeleteMay you continue to heal through tears, laughter, anger, sorrow.
ReplyDeleteWell we have to cry it out when our tension tightens.

there is always release in tears but then what? the pain doesn't get any easier after the catharsis wears off.
ReplyDeleteRejection is one of the most hurtful offenses.
Your blessed to cry. It took many years for me to become able to do so. Still it is a dry cry most the time.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that your release came.
I am so sorry for that flood of reflective thought
however. Always remember His embrace.
I meant rejection thoughts opps
ReplyDeleteCrying is healthy for you. It took me many years to allow myself to get to that place. As I share in my 2nd book is was always the emotion I struggled to express.
ReplyDeleteI cry the same way... head cradled in my hands, almost in shame. It's hard to unburden yourself when you are so used to holding it in.
ReplyDeleteTears are one way where the pain is melting and coming out of one's system. It feels great to have a nice cry and carry on with life. Nothing like it.
ReplyDeleteCry on for a better you. Your mourning shall be turned into joy.
Joy always dear one,
Susan
Continue to let it go, eventually you'll find your peace at then end of all that.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you
I would like to share with you the Lemonade and Circle of Friends award on my site.

I'm so sorry for your pain. May those tears wash it all away... Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteTears can be a healing balm sweetie, love you.
ReplyDeleteLet the tears flow and have the cleansing process continue. God is doing something good. Don't be afraid of the process.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I've discovered that my tears are a bridge to the intimacy I’d always lacked with myself. And the more permission I gave myself to cry, the more people would come to me and say "Thank you. You amaze me at how you can let yourself feel. It touched me and I wish I could do that too. Keep letting the salt flow from your eyes for your healing!
ReplyDeleteAlso I've been meaning to say, I've been coming and reading your blog for a while now and I've enjoyed it alot! Thanks for being real.
ReplyDeleteAww JRB. Your tears may they be sweet. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteShed the toxins out and let more of God's light in. He is cleaning you from the inside out. God with the flow. No pun intended. God Bless.
ReplyDeletecry, cleanse, release. i hope you're feeling better?
ReplyDeleteFreedom is coming!
