How Easily Tears Come - Sept. 23

I can't believe this. I got teary eyed three times this morning. Dear LORD, what are YOU doing?

The first time was during the song You Said. "You said, Ask and I'll give the nations to you. O Lord, that's the cry of my heart." That moment, my heart was overwhelmed. Tears came out despite my protest. I was not able to sing at all. The tears continued their free flowing until the very end of the song. (I suppose it is God's grace that I did not wear make up this morning.) I would be lying if I told you that I was not embarrassed. Dear LORD, will YOU lead me in prayer and service to ask you for the nations. Dear LORD, will YOU continue to prepare and equip me, lead me and guide me, mold me and transform me, ALL for YOUR glory.

Once again I was in tears during the story reading with Mark, and his math teacher, and the two pages of words of affirmation. At least, this time the tears stayed in my eyelids.

When I was playing with little I., tears came to fill my eyelids once again, looking at her and wondering how GOD sees her. Dear LORD, I do pray. Will YOU give me YOUR eyes to see little I., so that I can see her as how YOU see her? As a matter of fact, will YOU give me YOUR eyes to see everyone YOU place in my path? Will YOU help me see them as YOU see them?

I still can't believe how easily these tears came. Is this a sign of psychological health and low defense mechanism? Well, anyhow, the important thing is to keep Kleenex in my purse from now on ~
