Tears are not only designed for the cleansing of the eyes but the washing of the spirit and soul due to loss and separation. That's why there are no tears or sorrow in Heaven. Because once we're there, we will not only be forever with those who went on before us but we will also be with the One who made it all possible.
In light of eternity, life is short but True Love HAS, IS and WILL always last forever. So all of the worship, praise and thankfulness that flows outward from within the confines of our earthen containers during this earthly life is merely practice for the everlasting to everlasting to come.
So today and everyday our worship and our praise should move outward and upward to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit for being that True Love.
Psalm 30.4-6 [NIV]
4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."
John 11.35 [NIV]
35 Jesus wept.
Hebrews 13.8 [NIV]
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
1 John 4.15-17 [NIV]
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
1 John 4.19 [NIV]
19 We love because he first loved us.
Revelation 1.8 [NIV]
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation 2.4 [NIV]
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
Revelation 21.3-5 [NIV]
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
