A Jesus who never wept could never wipe away my tears.
A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.
Repentance and faith are distasteful to the unregenerate; they would sooner repeat a thousand formal prayers than shed a solitary tear of true repentance.
The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.
To pray is to cast off your burdens, it is to tear away your rags, it is to shake off your diseases, it is to be filled with spiritual vigor, it is to reach the highest point of Christian health.
The tears of affliction are often needed to keep the eye of faith bright.
