Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. When I approached the Throne of the Living God this morning, and I began to pour my Heart out to the Love of my Life, weeping quickly replaced my words. Not many things can cause me to be lost for words, but His Spirit sure can. Not many things can cause me to weep, but His Love sure can. It was overwhelming just to be in His Presence this morning, and not only did the words not flow…but words weren’t even necessary. He knows my Heart better than any human ever could, and I don’t need to whisper a single word to Him to prove it. He reads me from the inside out, especially in the silence. Sometimes I spend “forever” talking to my God and sometimes I spend “forever” praising Him with Song – but then there are times like this morning when I’m so overwhelmed by His Love that all I can do is weep with Joy. Isn’t that the way it is for you sometimes, too?

I’m sure some people think it’s absolute insanity to talk about going to God in prayer only to end up speechless and weeping, but that’s because they don’t know Him the way I do. The God of the Universe is MY God, and our Relationship is very personal. He knows everything about me and Loves me anyway. He knows every vile thing I’ve ever done, and He died to pay the price for it all on my behalf. He knows those things I struggle with, and He gives me the Strength to battle them. He knows my emptiness, and He fills the void. He knows my shortcomings and He Teaches me. He knows my thoughts and sometimes He shames me because of them. He knows my weaknesses, and He takes me “by the right hand” and leads me to my Strength. He knows when I’m confused, and He gives me Wisdom for the Journey. He knows that sometimes I’m “hated because of” Him, and He equips me with the Armor to battle on His behalf. There are lots of things I do to Express my Love…like Speaking the Truth every chance I get and being a Willing Vessel for Him – but sometimes I can’t help but wonder if He sees my Love even MORE in those speechless, weeping moments than He does through everything else I do to Serve Him.

I began this new day overwhelmed by the Love of my God, and I wept for a while because of it. Not sad tears…but the kind of tears that flow when something is SO beautiful that all you can do is cry because you’re lost for words. His Love leaves me speechless and weeping sometimes, and I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything else in this world.

How about you?

“Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.” – Psalm 126:5
