Need A Tissue? Don’t Ask God.

God has no handkerchiefs.

I know this because some days I just need a good cry. How about you?

Do you ever feel like you’re holding so much in? Gratitude. Longing. Grief. Joy. Sadness. Even hope. Sometimes it all builds up until your heart just can’t contain it anymore.

In those moments, we are so blessed to come into God’s presence and not have to say a word. He understands. He can hold it all.

He doesn’t offer a handkerchief because He wants to be the One who absorbs every tear, every messy breath, every honest, unfiltered emotion pouring out of us.

No Kleenex.
No drying it up.
No stopping what needs to come out.
No explanations required.
No judgment.
No ranking your tears in order of importance.

Just a safe place where we are fully known, fully loved, and wrapped in the everlasting arms of the Father.

“O my people, trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to Him, for God is our refuge.” – Psalm 62:8
