I came across this quote by Steve Green that was thought provoking.

…somewhere along the way we can lose our childlike transparency and innocence… we don’t dare admit what we are feeling or ask others to join us in our grief.

There is One who catches our tears and mends our broken hearts. He is keenly aware of everything from the seemingly insignificant ache to the deepest kind of wounding. Someday he will dry our eyes forever… but till then, from time to time, it’s nice to hear a child’s voice saying what we all had wished someone would say… “Does anybody else feel like crying?”
