Midnight Tears

Tonight I woke up about midnight and found myself shedding tears. For a moment I wasn’t even sure why was crying. I often have my sleep interrupted due to various reasons that go with the cancer treatments or side effects but tonight was different. I didn’t do anything profound but rather just sat in the silence as tears fell. It was in that stillness I realized I wasn’t crying out of sadness, frustration or anything negative. I sat there crying because I was overwhelmed with God’s goodness and love for me. This isn’t the first time I have felt that of course, God often reveals himself to us in these ways. It was the first time I woke up crying about it though.

So here in the middle of the night, as I watch the clock stretch from midnight into early morning I sit and just let the tears fall and whispers words of thanksgiving to a Father who knows when we need to be loved on and who is so willing to well up so much in our hearts that it leaks out of our eyes.

As each tear falls I start praying that others might know this completely overwhelming, great love He has for us.

Midnight tears of joy turn into early morning prayers and I am so grateful!
