A Good Cry

Go ahead; have a good cry.

Flash back to the 60’s and remember your favorite hit records. Lesley Gore scored in 1963 with ‘It’s My Party.’ Brokenhearted teenage girls listened to lyrics and sang along. They were having their own pity parties and cried if they wanted to.

Boy meets girl… boy breaks the girl’s heart… girl cries her heart out.

Guys might not want to admit it but they can cry too. Roy Orbison pulled heartstrings in 1961 with ‘Crying.’ The popular record went to #2 on the charts and Orbison cried all the way to the bank.
When was the last time you had a good cry? It may be long overdue.

Is the sin in your life breaking your heart?

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people! Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you (James 4:8-10 HCSB).”

God is merciful; He forgives.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Am I pleasing my Father?

“The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.
God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart (Psalm 51:17 HCSB).”
