In Psalm 56 David asked God to put his tears in a bottle. I do think many tears come from selfish reasons.

And as soon as I posted this, God showed me the relief of tears.<br />Even in the face of that, though, understanding the difference between the pity parties and genuine grief is probably an exercise worth engaging.JoAnne Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736685999963791015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162883238388829088.post-80090792824036609512012-10-20T07:51:16.011-07:002012-10-20T07:51:16.011-07:00Hmmmm...I'm thinking about this, Joanne.
