quoted from Luke 6:21 - "Blessed
are you who weep now for you will
laugh." He asked the kids what
made them cry. After their answers
he told them that God created them
so that they could cry as a way of
expressing their hurt and pain and
sadness.
"Crying helps the pain come
out," he said.
Often we hear people tell us not
to cry or don't be a crybaby but
crying is good for us and
something that we must do. It can
clear the way for us to smile and
laugh. God cries and laughs with us
and He wants to heal our hurts and
sadness so that we can smile again.
God made us to be both sad and
happy.
