Good Tuesday morning. We need never be ashamed of our tears.

Even though the way of sorrow is hard, God sends reminders of His enduring presence. To the Israelites expelled from the Promised Land due to disobedience, God made His presence known by sending prophets like Jeremiah to offer them hope, hope for reconciliation through repentance. 

 And to those He leads through tough times of testing, He shows His presence through a community of believers who "love one another fervently with a pure heart." These indications of God's presence during trials on earth affirm God's promise of the living hope awaiting us at the resurrection.

 ( In this living hope you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. 1 Peter 1:6 ). Have a great day.
