Unfortunate children! I have punished you and driven you from the Garden of Eden. Now you enter a world of sorrow and trouble that staggers imagination. I want you to know that My love for you will never end. You will meet with tribulation that will embitter you. Out of My heavenly treasure, I give priceless pearls: Tears! When grief overtakes you, when your heart aches, and great anguish grips your soul, then there will fall from your eyes tears. I, your Lord, grace you with tears. Use them wisely for cleansing your soul. Shed with sincerity and authenticity, tears instantly reunite you with My love. –an ancient Jewish legend.
