When things get tough or you cannot avoid someone or something in your life that brings you pain, do you give up or do you keep going?
The sign of strength in a believer is the ability to cry when needed to relieve stress and get up after to begin doing what is needed. Those who are strong admit their pain, cry over it from time to time and continue on the path God has given for them.
Psalm 30:5
"For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning."
Jesus Christ cares about our tears.

Even Jesus Christ the Lord wept!

When this life is over for the believer the time of weeping and mourning will be over and then we will laugh and dance.

The time of weeping will be over soon for those who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
