Tears yield to a stronger, brighter faith.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and today I want to help you if you’re going through a tragic time. You know, the kind that knocks you off your feet. Like a broken home. A diagnosis of cancer. Or a broken neck. During those times, you may feel like crying, cursing, or just giving up. You may feel a thousand things. But somewhere along the line, if you don't stop feeling and start thinking about how to attend to the circumstances you find yourself in, you'll freeze. Your faith will shrivel. Your soul will dry up and die. In the aftermath of a tragedy, people weep. We should weep. God weeps with us. But there is also a time to think. And God's Word is full of commands to ponder, consider, weigh, reason, and judge. Consider God's perspective on your difficult trial. Ask him for his point of view. For when he gives it [and he always does], tears will yield to a stronger, brighter faith.
