Expect tears in life...Xians have a little mythical belief... If I am a good boy/girl then God will protect me from pain in this life!Book of Job!! Job 16 – 20 My friends scorn me; My eyes pour out tears to God.Not all pain is because you have done something wrong!! Jesus a man of sorrows! And he walked in lived perfectly with the father!Interesting metaphor for salvation… Ezekiel 36:26 – 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.Which means that we may actually experience more sorrow living in Jesus. Your heart becomes more of a heart!1 Thess. 4 – 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. ** If we don’t learn to expect pain in this life we will not only have tears when we do experience pain, we will have tears over having tears!
