Today we will discuss a very beautiful thing from the Bible – how God catches our tears. It is a concept that brings peace to the hearts of many. Let’s see what we can learn from it.
You know, God loves us so much that He sees our every tear and collects them. How does it feel to hear this? Imagine, you are in great pain, crying – and God is standing next to you at that moment and wiping away your tears. How amazing is that?
This idea reminds us that God is always with us. Even when we are in the most sorrowful state, He is ready to comfort us.
Sometimes we are in so much pain that we cannot even speak. But you know what? Then our tears become a powerful prayer. It reaches directly to the heart of God. He understands our sorrow and helps us with His love.
In many places in the Bible we see how much God cares about our mental health. When we feel very lonely, these words remind us that we are never alone. God’s love surrounds us, giving us strength.
now let’s look at the Bible scriptures below that discuss God catching our tears.
