What God Has Built Up From Tears

Today’s post is part of the devotion I read this morning from Streams in the Desert devotional by L.B. Cowman; edited by Jim Reimann.

The flowers live by the tears that fall

From the sad face of the skies;

And life would have no joys at all

Were there no watery eyes.

Love the sorrow, for grief will bring

Its own reward in later years;

The rainbow! See how fair a thing

God has built up from tears.
