The God Who Weeps

"`Jesus wept.' These words describe a man who, when grief came, was able to weep, for He wanted and

needed to express the feelings within him... I suggest we put a comma . . . so it now reads: ‘Grieve, not as those who have no hope..." (The Answer, page 590)

God weeps?

Yes, God weeps, Child.                                                                    

      For you,

      For the world

God weeps.

      But the day will come when there will be an end to that weeping, both yours and Mine.

That day will come and we will rejoice, you and I together.

     We will be full,

     My Bride and I will be full

              And there will be no more weeping

              No more sorrow.

       The Son will shine and the Dove will fly,

Fly away to Me to make Her nest in the rocks to find shelter in the caverns.

     For I am the Rock that shelters you

     And the caverns are in My heart, your new home.

                      Rest, now.

                      Rest in Me.

                     Fly. Fly with Me

                     Play, play with Me, My little serious one.

             All strivings and angles.

I would soften you.

How?

-- Draw close and let Me do it.

You don't have to figure it out.

The people you carry in your heart you can carry, if you carry them to Me

. Me alone. --

So, softness has to do with trusting You to work and not trying to force the issue?

-- Yes. It does. -

You told me earlier to listen to You.

-- Yes. The "listening" softens you.

It allows Me in, in a particular way. --
