WHY WEEP?
By Rick Mathes
Luke 7:38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
The first thing to do when you are down and out is to kneel at the feet of Jesus and pour your heart out to Him. A love spurned is a common offender of driving one to depression and extreme futility; life isn’t worth it any more. Neither considers that God is love and His love will never leave us nor forsake us, so refreshing yourself in Him will make your worldly sorrow fade away.
The extreme materialism of our culture is designed to fan the flames of your low self-esteem and hound you to pursue the vanities of Satan’s kingdom. Now when your heart is humble in the3 face of God you are spot on! You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit’s esteem in Jesus. You will see your seed of faith grow and your weeping will turn to tears of joy. Yes, there is a remnant and it has come from your care: your family.
Turning now to your life, Satan’s greatest entrapments to despondency is money and sex. Let’s face it. Whatever your worth is or isn’t, it’s much more than you deserve. If your wife got you with her sexy ways, chances are another man with better sex will get her from you. Be satisfied with what you have and don’t get sucked into porno and skin-flicks. She will do just fine.
I really believe the root cause of sorrow and weeping is loneliness. Man was not meant to be alone. So the Lord created all life to please us through Him. Nothing or no one can stand alone and satisfy your seed for a relationship but through, in and for Him. He is always there for you. No one can take you out of His hand and He promised He would never leave you nor forsake you. You can count on it so stop your weeping.
And lastly, aging people often get sad over what they could have done or who they could have been. Let me tell you, the best is yet to come in who you will be and what you will be doing in glory!
