WIPE THOSE TEARS

cry

There was a certain woman, Mrs H. She had been married for a number of years and she was

barren. Her husband chose to get married to another woman after so many years of waiting and

pressure from different sides.

Mrs H was unhappy and to worsen her situation, the new wife gave birth to twins at first and later

on to other children. Mrs Penny, the new wife also discovered a new found hobby in taunting,

mocking and making jest of Mrs H. The only thing Mrs H found solace in, was in crying. If tears

were sold she would have been a millionaire, she was always looking dejected and sad, always

wearing a long face with no trace of smile.

While she was torturing herself emotionally, Mrs Penny was beaming with smile and excited

about her predicament. Mrs H continued to remain in that state until one day, yes! that particular

day when she came to the realization that tears will not solve any matter, it wont open her womb

instead it will only raise her blood pressure level. She took a decision that changed her life for

good. She directed the energy she used in crying to praying. She poured out herself to God and

didnt stop there, she made a vow to God, wiped her tears, took her bath, wore new clothes, ate

correct food probably with chicken lap self and wore a smile on her face. She wasnt yet pregnant

at this stage but she had faith that her prayers were answered.

So many people are like Mrs H, when we are in a particular situation we find it easy to cry,

murmur, complain and tell others about our problems while excluding the right person who should

listen to our issues. Why dont you channel that energy to laying it all at christ feet. Wipe those

tears, stop that murmuring and ask God boldly, believing without a second thought. People who

add worry to their prayers are like wind whipped waves and do not get anything from God that

way.

Everything will work out well, it is time to wipe those tears!
