[ Jeremiah 31:3 - 31:9 ] - hymn 442 Tears of joy will stream down their faces, and I will lead them home with great care. [ JEREMIAH 31:9 NLT ] Leaving home one morning, Dean found some friends waiting with balloons. His friend Josh stepped forward. ¡°We entered your poems in a competition,¡± he said, before handing Dean an envelope. Inside was a card that read ¡®¡°First Prize,¡± and soon everyone was crying tears of joy. Dean¡¯s friends had done a beautiful thing, confirming his writing talent.
Weeping for joy is a paradoxical experience. Tears are normally a response to pain, not joy and joy is normally expressed with laughter, not tears. Italian psychologists have noted that tears of joy come at times of deep personal meaning—like when we feel deeply loved or achieve a major goal. This led them to conclude that tears of joy are pointers to the meaning of our lives.
I imagine tears of joy erupting everywhere Jesus went. How could the parents of the man born blind not weep for joy when Jesus healed him (JOHN 9:1-9), or Mary and Martha after He raised their brother from death (11:38-44)? When God¡¯s people are brought into a restored world, ¡°Tears of joy will stream down their faces,¡± Godsays,¡°and Iwill lead them home with greatcare¡±(JEREMIAH 31:9 NLT). If tears of joy show us the meaning of our lives, imagine that great day to come. As tears stream down our faces, we¡¯ll know without doubt that the meaning of life has always been to live intimately with Him.
