God sees every tear we cry
Have you ever wondered if God sees every tear you cry and if so what does he do with those tears? You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. ~ Psalm 56:8 My mom use to tell me all the time […]
