Let me challenge your thought process for a moment; for
people who engage in true feelings, a tear is a complex
form of the human experience that includes absolutely
every emotion man could possibly experience. In every
solitary tear, all of life is contained in one tiny little
organism. Every cell, every emotion, every experience,
whether it be physical or spiritual, is contained in one tear.
We cry when we grieve, we cry when we are elated, we cry
when we are sad, and we cry when we laugh hysterically
from sheer joy. But where and how does a tear actually
manifest? There are signs that occur within our body that
a tear is imminent. When a single solitary tear gently
streams down our face and is powered by empathy or
compassion, our body heats up, our throat gets tight and we
experience some kind of release. When we hysterically
laugh and cry at the same time, the heat may still be in our
cheeks but there is no tight throat; just unbridled joy
resounding throughout our entire body. Dramatically
resonating like a clanging cymbal, a laughing tear seems to
invoke the release of endorphins that create a feeling of
elation.

Grieving tears create a painful moan that seems to take up
residence deep within our soul. But what about those big
giant tears that quietly fall down our face when a person is
unknowingly shocked with emotions that come to us like a
thief in the night? Ah.... now those are what I refer to as
“Holy Spirit tears.” THOSE are the tears that come from a
deep and a sacred place that only God can define. I know you
know what I am referring to; not all tears are alike and not all
tears serve the same purpose. But if all tears have the same
“chemical” make-up, how can they be so different - how can
they serve such different purposes as they respond to the
human spirit? I guess that’s where Creation comes into play.
We live in such a sophisticated and complex scientific
creation of physics and technology, our spirits seem to crash
into equations as they witness phenomena such as light
eliminating darkness, mourning turning into happiness and
life defying death. We mere humans eventually find
ourselves experiencing an indefinable relationship with our
Creator that most of us just can’t quite explain. We are
always pushing the boundaries of intellectual interpretation
by utilizing reality and spiritual awareness.

People who do not believe in God and only in
science are missing the mysterious equation we
call

life and spirit.
