>And God Cried

>Life seemed to be an all-encompassing storm
Through loss upon loss from my heart hope was torn
Crisis begat crisis time and time again
Each day a new problem without any end

Dark clouds settled over my head
I felt less alive then someone physically dead

In anguish I cried out to the Father above

He lovingly reached down with His strong arms of love

Picking me up in response to my cry
So gentle came the answer from the Most High

Hanging my head in shame

I despising both my condition and the pain

Yet closed my eyes to rest
Cradled closely to His breast

His gentle arms brought such peace

I seemed to slowly drift off to sleep

Soon I was awakened by a drop
Then came another and they did not stop

Again a drop and then some more
And soon a steady downpour
“What is this?” I said

As the droplets soaked my head

My eyes began to look around
Nothing but dark clouds could be found
Until a steady piercing light
Began to shine ever so bright

Suddenly I felt His glory all around
“Why does this rain not fall to the ground?”
Drip, drop it fell upon me
I began to look up in curiosity

His Glory did shine with awesome wonder
It was more jolting then the most deafening thunder
But the sight I beheld was more glorious to see
I saw the tears of God falling down upon me

Tears streaming down from His cheek
These precious words He did speak
“My little lamb I love you
When you hurt, I cry too.”

“When his people pray for help, he listens and rescues them from their troubles. The LORD is there to rescue all who are discouraged and have given up hope.” Psalm 34:17-18 CEV
