Bottled in heaven

 

You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? Psalm 56:8

David knew that God does not ignore the sorrow, suffering, and tears of His people. Our Lord has a collection! He collects the tears of His people; tears of repentance, tears that are shed fighting against sin, tears of those who say: ‘’O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?’’ (Romans 7:24). He collects the tears of those who say: ‘’Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law’’. (Psalm 119:136)

Our Lord has a diary where He writes about the sorrows and tears of His children. The tears of God's children are not forgotten. they are bottled in heaven, written in God's book.
