Weep! Your Joy Will Come

Today’s Scripture:   Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalms 30:5 (NLT)

I often tell my friends that whenever I am overwhelmed, disappointed or hurt I cry (more like bawl) then I move on. Ladies, for me whenever I am going through something that I cannot deal with I find that crying helps so I find a nice quiet place, preferably my bed, I cover my head, I bawl and somehow my burden feels lighter.

According to Dr Judith Orloff author of Emotional Freedom “tears are your body’s release valve for stress, sadness, grief, anxiety, and frustration.” Dr. William Frey at the Ramsey Medical Center in Minneapolis discovered that emotional tears contain stress hormones which get excreted from the body through crying. Additional studies also suggest that crying stimulates the production of endorphins, our body’s natural pain killer and “feel-good” hormones.”

So you see ladies when the Bible tells us that weeping will lead to rejoicing its happens naturally and spiritually as well. You might be going through a lot of stress right now, maybe a death of a love one, a divorce, financial difficulty or even emotional stress. Rest assured that things will get better overtime; it usually works out as God is in control and He will provide a way out of your situation.

Added to the awesome faithfulness of God, He also orchestrated it so that you get relief from literally weeping. Now I understand why when my Dad died my natural reaction was to cry. I am also very grateful that I can cry freely when I want to. Some persons may view crying openly as weakness but crying has the psychological benefit of lifting our mood and helping us to deal with painful situations. Therefore ladies, do not feel bad about crying because crying relieves the stress and replaces it with joy.

Weep ladies because your joy will surely come.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Father, thank you for the privilege of crying. Thank you for assuring us that joy will come after we cry. Thank you that you have given us the gift of tears that relieves us emotional grief and stress. Lord we bless you for thinking of us.

In Jesus Name

Amen
