Music of the Night

ahhh. just (most unlike of tim) watched 'Phantom of the Opera' , I think I'm (most like tim) going to cry or something ):

then i always wonder. why do tears come so easily? maybe it's just me.

some are tears of unmeasurable joy - tears that come from knowing that we are so beautifully and wonderfully loved by our creator king. tears that flow endlessly when we realize, in awe, the depth of the Father's love for us. tears that find their beginnings in a guilty heart forgiven. tears simply dripping with gratitude. I love those tears, those precious tears.

then there are tears of pain - tears that come from struggling, struggling to find that person that cares, that voice that understands. tears the flow endlessly when we shut ourselves out from people who truly love us. tears that find their beginnings in - sometimes - stupidity, when we are blind to the love of the Father. Tears that are simply dripping with the will to surrender. I treasure those tears, yet wonder why I ever experienced them.

and there are tears of just deep senses of emotion. when a beautiful sunset paints the sky red. when the snowflakes flutter down to caress your head in the midst of the valley white. when one sits upon a great hill and marvels at creation. when one parts. when one meets. unforgettable tears.

then again. one quarter of the term has pass. i tell myself, when the time comes to part, i will let them flow.

looking back on sad times - we often laugh for having been so blind
looking back on happy times - we often tear for - - forever...

Oh God lead me on. may those who earnestly seek You always be filled with joy and satisfaction (:
