The Gift of Tears

When we cry, especially unexpectedly, it's a signal to pay close attention. While we may see it as a moment of weakness that requires a tangible solution, God sees it as something more precious - an expression of our heart that reveals more about ourselves and calls not for a solution, but for a safe and loving space to be in. If we want to cultivate a community that encourages such safe and loving spaces, it's crucial to let go of our tendency towards efficiency and problem-solving and learn to be present in the moment, and to love others simply by listening and wasting time together.
