Tears, I believe, are a gift from God to cleanse, heal, and allow us to humble ourselves to the Lord. Tears can draw us closer to God during our trials and tribulations.
See how you will learn how to allow the Holy Spirit to get you through trials and tribulations. Suffering can draw you closer to God or farther away from Him. I was healed from mental illness; God spoke to me at an altar at a little church. He told me there would be no more mental illness or chance of hospitalization from these attacks. I was healed later in life of other diseases, especially oxygen 24/7.
My roller-coaster life has brought me to a redeemed, spirit-filled, joy-filled life with a purpose and call to do God's will for my life, according to Romans 8:28.
