Revelation 21:4
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Rose-Lynn Fisher discovered what our tears reveal about us when taking
pictures of the dried tears of one hundred subjects for her project
called "The Topography of Tears". When viewing her own tears, Fisher
said they "looked like an aerial view, almost as if I was looking down
at a landscape from a plane."The Telegraph news website points out that "tears contain oils, antibodies and enzymes and fall into three categories; basal, which are released continuously to keep the eyes lubricated; reflex, which occur in response to irritants such as when chopping onions or when getting poked in the eye; and psychic, triggered by emotions."
The website also noted that "scientists have identified that different types of tears are made up of distinct molecules. For example, those caused by emotions contain hormones which act as a painkiller and are released when we are stressed."
Wasn't that good of our Creator to supply us with tears to help us deal with both emotional and physical pain? Even better, He is always ready to comfort us in times of sorrow. Tears are not the result of mutations over millions of years. They were given to us by a Creator who experienced great emotional pain in the garden of Gethsemane and incredible physical pain when He died on the cross for you and me.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us tears that
can do so much more than keep our eyes clean and moist. I am grateful
that You will wipe every tear from our eyes when we are in Your
presence. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
