Tears

 

“Jesus wept” - John 11:35

 

Once a meeting was organised in London for Evangelist Billy Graham to preach. But there was a big protest that he should not come here to hold a meeting. "Billy Graham is coming to conduct the gospel circus," media and the press sarcastically wrote in spades. Even the churches opposed him. In such a situation he and his wife arrived at the port of London by ship. As soon as he landed journalists surrounded him and asked, “you have come to change our London, have you changed your America?”. They mocked him by asking him various questions. Then they boarded a train to go to their destination. While in the train he prayed saying “The situation is in such a way”. He looked at the face of God and said, "How am I going to go there and minister?" Immediately God spoke to him through the scriptures. Then, he prayed with tears asking the Lord to give him the grace to endure any kind of struggle. When they got down from train, thousands of people gathered there and greeted them with cheers. God spoke in his heart saying, “See how many people I have for you?”. Tears welled up in Billy Graham's eyes.

 

In the bible, Jesus sees the sisters of Lazarus weeping as his brother died and was buried. He hears Martha's voice saying if you had been here, my brother would not have died. Mary's tears moved him. It made him to weep too. “Are you crying for your brother? Lazarus come out” said Jesus, he raised Lazarus , who had been dead for four days, and handed him over to the sisters.

 

Beloved! What we weep for in the Lord's presence can move him. Those tears are very precious. We see such inhuman beings who notice others shedding tears but ignore it but our Lord is not like that. What and Who are you missing? Do you feel like there is no one who can see your tears, no one to help you? Your tears can move our God. Don’t cry he will reply to you, and he will answer you. Amen.
