Why Do I Cry?


Ask me about my life and I doubt I’d make it through my testimony before my eyes began to glass over, overflowing with tears, running down my face, falling to the floor.

I know people look and wonder “Why is she ALWAYS crying?” . . .Why Do I Cry?

I cry because I am not who or where I should be
But I am not who or where I used to be . . .Why Do I Cry?

I cry because that which once had me bound I now bind it
Once held in captivity now oh but NOW I AM FREE. . . Why Do I Cry?

I cry for my brothers and sisters who are still bound, possessed, lost, unsaved. . . Why Do I Cry?

I cry because there is confusion, chaos, and destruction all around me
Yet I have clarity, order. . .I’ve been restored. . . Why Do I Cry?

I cry because I’ve been persecuted, mistreated, used and abused
Despite all that I am precious, valuable, worthy of HIS love. . . Why Do I Cry?

I cry when I praise Him because He’s been just that good. You see I am a kept woman. I’ve watched my enemies become my foot stool. He’s provided for me when I couldn’t provide for myself. He loved me when no one else would and I am grateful. So when you see the tears streaming down my face know they merely represent who I am so don’t judge me just pass the tissue.
