God's tears



Your highest merit are your tears
not shed for pity's sake but for compassion
being something of life's very fountain,
like a mother's source of love and kind protection
for all life, all human character and feelings
and the care for human worth and dignity
and above all the most supreme necessity of freedom.
Poets say life started in the ocean of God's tears,
and that was never contradicted.
So are all our tears a continuity
of God's own care of life, and when we cry
our tears are God's and a projection
of life's inmost values and its essence,
thus diffusing and expanding what our souls are made of,
which is our inheritance
and the eternal very essence of divinity.

Jesus wept. We do know that for a fact. And I love how God collects all of our tears in a bottle/wineskin the Psalmist writes...
This was certainly a poem to quicken our thoughts even tho' the Bible doesn't mention this beauyiful picture.
Well penned.

this is lovely, Christian. I had never heard the bit about how life began in an ocean of God's tears, but it is truly a lovely image...I love the facet the God is capable of tears...that's the "humanity" of God...the mercy...thank you so much for sharing this.
