bottle full of tears

In church on Sunday we were talking about trials and hardships. The pastor said that God has bottles of our tears, that he knows what each tear meant to us and cares about how much we were hurting when we cried that tear. I thought that was beautiful. I feel life lately has been full of hardships and trials but also blessings beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm okay with hardships. I'm okay with tears. I'm okay with people ripping me to pieces. I'm okay with bad things happening. Because I know God is in control and he is saving my tears and writing down my heartaches. He remembers my good times and he hugs me through my hard times. But he rejoices with me during my happy days. He has put the best people in my life who shape me into a better person and he is slowly showing me the people I no longer need. No matter how hard this may be, it's for the best. So, I thank all my close friends and family. I love you all dearly. For those I no longer need, I still love you dearly, always will.

Be still, be quiet, listen... God's always whispering something in your ear.
