We are familiar with the Book Of Life where the name of every redeemed soul is recorded.
However the scripture records that God also has a book/scroll of remembrance
Malachi speaks of a book or scroll of remembrance written in the presence of God, a record of the words spoken by those who feared the Lord.
Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon and esteemed his name.
Az nid•be•roo yir•ey Adonai eesh el-re•e•hoo va•yak•shev Adonai va•yish•ma va•yi•ka•tev se•fer zi•ka•ron le•fa•nav le•yir•ey Adonai ool•chosh•vei sh`mo.
David cries out to God in the Psalm 56:8,
“put my tears in your bottle” and then declares “are they not in your book?”
He asked that his tears be kept in Heaven’s permanent record.
Psalms 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book? “Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll—are they not in your record?”
No•di sa•far•ta ata si•ma dim•ati v`no•de•cha ha•lo be•sif•ra•te•cha.
God has a book of remembrance that tells of our wanderings, our tears and sufferings. Is this book the same one from Malachi, or yet a different book kept by Adonai?
Everything that people are doing in speaking, communing together in their love for God is chronicled. Everything about us is recorded. (Psalms 139:14-16)
Either way, God keeps books full of our life’s stories…the costly victories won in the secret place, the sorrows and pains endured in silence, the joys celebrated in God’s presence, all are witnessed and forever recorded.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. (psalm 139:16)
Rom 12:15. Sim•choo eem-has•me•chim oov•choo eem-ha•bo•chim.
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
דמעות Tears Dim-ati D-M-A/B-KH-H
Tears of joy are the sunbeams piercing the soft and gentle rain drops of refreshing summer showers.
Bottle – בקבוק (pronounced bahk-book)
My tears in Your bottle.
There are several Hebrew words related to the act of weeping. These range from (bekhi), crying, to (dema’ot), tears, with several interposed onomatopoetic words that imitate the sound of crying: for example, (yevava), (yelala), and, accompanied by a sigh, (nehi).
Tears cleanse the eye and also the soul.
For his anger lasts but a moment; in his favor is life; weeping..
Tears may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning Ps 30:5
Ki re•ga be•a•po cha•yim bir•tzo•no ba•erev ya•lin be•chi ve•la•bo•ker ri•na.
Even those who maintain their life is without many problems, have experienced times of great sadness, loss of a loved family member or friend, to all four legged ones with whom we share our lives. Death is a great physical separator, but in Him it is only the doorway to eternity into His presence, to be with Him and the scriptures say we shall be like Him. 
We all cry tears, they are an integral attribute of being human. After nine months it’s our first response to leaving the womb. Tears bring forth life, crying doesn’t indicate that you are weak because since birth it has always been a sign that you are alive.
A first dramatic and traumatic transition from darkness into light and it kick starts our bodies to begin doing things on our own, like breathing. The act of crying fills our lungs with air and our life in this realm begins.the first of many tears we would shed over the course of our lifetime.
Scripture has plenty to say about tears
The Lord SEES Our Every Tear
All of the passages in scripture teach us this one very important truth and that is, we have never shed a tear that GOD didn’t see.
God has seen every tear we shed…
on our pillow at night and every tear we have cried behind closed doors…
when hurtful or hateful words were spoken to us and crushed our spirit…
when someone has betrayed us or trampled all over our heart…
when our loved one died, and every tear we have shed since then when we think of them…
when we have miserably failed and lost all hope in ourselves…
every tear we have shed over a wayward son or daughter who has gone astray…
God has put our tears in His bottle and recorded them in His book.
Ruth Bell Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, once said…… “In every pew sits a broken heart.” It would seem that there’s a lot of truth in that statement.
To every bruised and broken heart reading this today, realize God has put your tears in His bottle and recorded them in His book.
He knows each and every one…
and His promise to each of us is that “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Why would He keep our tears in a bottle and record them in His book if they were not precious to Him?
In recent years, science has proved that each tear contains our unique DNA, they represent the sum total of our lives. They are in a sense, a liquid record of our existence and emotional experiences.
In the bottle, is all our pain and joy etc. combined, it is each one of us and our whole lives.
That’s why He keeps them.
He promises that one day, there will be no more tears or crying. Then we will be complete in Him and the human emotions will be matured into those of who He IS, and those emotions will no longer be required for a life in eternity with Him.
The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face, they are the ones that come from your heart and overwhelmingly envelope your soul. 
They are the components of the ‘bricks’ with which we build the protective wall around our hearts and the fabric of the shell into which we crawl in order to prevent any further hurt.
Many times, crying is the only way that we can speak, when our mouths can’t explain how things broke our heart; when our eyes release tears, they are the words the heart is unable to form or utter.
Sometimes we feel like crying for no apparent reason and it’s often to make up for the days we suppressed our tears of sorrow and hurt.
Rain falls because the clouds can no longer handle the weight. There comes a tipping point of overflow when their contents can no longer be contained in the same way, our tears fall because the heart can no longer handle the pain.
Anyone can make you smile, many people can make you cry,
but it takes someone really special to make you smile with tears in your eyes.
Tears are good! What flows is alive. Crying is like a thunderstorm for the soul, the air feels so wonderful after the rain. Your tears herald a change in your life like the summer rain and they wash away the pain
Tears are like prayers too, they travel to God when we have no words to communicate. Psalm 56:8
A forensics expert explained that when they chemically tested the tears from people who lost loved ones from natural causes, accidents and suicide; those tears showed to contain poison when analyzed in a chemical reaction.
As believers, when we hear that, we think about Jesus crying and realize the enormity of what was contained in His tears in the Garden of Gethsemane. The mental anguish of the extreme stress of the combined sins of the whole world were upon Him. 
Esau sought with Bitter tears …the poison is in the bitterness. Hebrews 12:15-17 and there are warnings about the root of bitterness in Deut. 29:18 and Lamemtations 3:15,19
Surely at one time, we have all probably had some tears ‘burn’ our eyes.
Luke 22:62 says, “So Peter went out and wept bitterly.”
On hearing this explanation, it becomes clear how important our healing is from others actions, as they can become a poison in our bodies. There are records showing how many survivors who aren’t believers in the Lord, became sick with cancer and other life threatening diseases.
So crying does bring healing and tears bring life. Our tears have an important purpose.
The Bible teaches us there are three things that cause us to shed tears:
it’s because of PHYSICAL pain
EMOTIONAL pain
SPIRITUAL pain
Contrary to what many people believe, tears aren’t a sign of weakness, tears are a sign of strength. Its the ability to humble ourselves and allow the reality of our situation to be seen by others.
Crying brings the release of emotion, allowing God to replace all the inner pain with JOY, HOPE and LOVE and to fill our hearts and minds with His Shalom/ the PEACE that passes ALL understanding.
It has been said that 
… an interesting observation.
Remember we are greatly loved and cherished and

Mentioned briefly in the last post was, praying with the help of God’s Holy Spirit. 
It’s a place and time where words are insufficient. The depth of our cries are too deep to even voice, nor do they make any sense to our understanding.
Prayer is initiated and the cry of the heart is birthed.
and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
At the same time the statement seems to be very clear and definite; and an explanation has been given that the Holy Spirit is here referred to as, dwelling in us, and is making the intercession.
The Divine Spirit is said to be a Spirit of supplication. Zechariah 12:10
Heart cries from the innermost being erupt without words.
and tears bring forth life. 
This is also true for men.
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
If we haven’t experienced the power of Holy Spirit inspired intercession, then it’s something we should be sure to ask the Lord for.
It is ignited by the pure fire of heavens Mercy and Grace and His long reach, amongst other things, enabling us to snatch souls from the flames lapping at the ankles of the lost. Jude 1:23 
There is a cry from the heart when words cannot suffice.
For the pain, the grief, the sadness, the hopelessness, there are no words adequate to describe such acute experiences and the emotions that accompany the many extreme circumstances in our lives.
Trauma, tragedy, loss, or death of a loved one.
Violation of home, person, privacy. The crises are endless, too long to list. Please know that not mentioning these crushing experiences and emotions individually, is not negating their equal importance.
In such times, the cry, the lament, the voice of our heart in its brokenness, becomes a wail, ascending to the father’s throne in hopes of piercing the heavens.
Intercession, prayer, supplication, all beseech the Lord of mercies, rachamim, to uphold us.
They implore the God of all comfort to enfold us in His unconditional love…
and He does..
ALWAYS.
The Hebrew word rachamim, is plural when a word has ‘im’ at the end, it indicates that it is more than one. So it’s meaning is not ‘mercy’, as it is not a singular noun. It means ‘mercies’, and it is far more than mercy.
The scripture says the Holy Spirit takes hold together with us in groanings that cannot be uttered. 
The lifter of all of our burdens, and the answer to our wailing cries has brought us…
The word newly spoken
Yes, to those our God shows
by L.C.
We are also encouraged to be as little children. 
It beeps because God wants to talk to you.
You need to be still and quiet so you can hear Him. 
If you want to talk back to Him then you need to pray.
The only conclusion to be drawn from this statement is that if you are alive, that means your heart is beeping, so it’s time to pray!
