I was at work yesterday and just felt kind of down. I had this kind of overwhelming sense of sadness. It was to the point that I felt like crying. It was strange because I don’t even know where it came from or what it was about. I didn’t actually cry, but maybe I should have.
Thinking about that more in depth, I realized that I might have missed an opportunity. I know that sounds funny. What I mean, is that I might have missed an opportunity for myself to heal, or move past something. Even though I wasn’t sure what it was about, I think our body knows when we need to let go of something. I believe that emotions are complex. Sometimes we can’t even understand them mentally. But we’re overwhelmed by them at times.
It seems that crying is often undervalued in our society today. Especially if you’re a man. You’re not supposed to cry, right? Of course, we probably shouldn’t go around crying in public. People will think something’s seriously wrong with you. Some decorum is called for. However, if I’m overcome with emotion in my home, maybe it’s best to just let it out.
If you think about when we were very young, we didn’t hesitate to cry. We didn’t worry about what people were going to think of us. We just let it out, and we felt better afterwards, didn’t we? We got it all out of our system. As we grow up, we gradually learn not to cry. It’s kind of taught out of us. Don’t cry. Be strong. Of course, not crying all the time is a part of growing up and being an adult. But, not crying at all isn’t a balanced approach either.
I believe, as we go through life, we experience a lot of different things. As we experience those things, they can’t help but have an effect on us. And to be a healthy human being we need to not ignore those experiences and how they affect us. These things can build up over time and we don’t realize how they’re affecting us mentally, or health-wise, or spiritually. They can manifest in different ways. A lot of people don’t realize that our health can deteriorate due to emotional issues. Emotional issues also have an effect on our mental health. That’s why psychiatrists are so busy. We give them a lot of material to work with when we leave issues unresolved. And, of course, this has an effect on us in a down spirit.
So, I would say we should not be afraid to let it out, and just cry. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Just let it out. You don’t have to hold it in.
What does the Bible say about crying? Well, even if we don’t value it, God seems to place a high value on it. AV Psalms 56:8 says, “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?” It’s amazing to think of God saving our tears in a bottle. I think that shows how much God watches over and cares for us. To save our tears means He cares when we cry.

AV Psalms 34:17 says, “The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” When we have problems it’s good to know we can cry out to God. ‘Cause really, He’s really the only one that can help us. And it’s good that we cry. You know why? Because that means we care. If we can’t even cry, then we are numb and can’t feel much of anything. When we cry over sin, especially, it’s good because that means we’ve grieved over it and that can prompt change in us. The conviction of the Holy Spirit can have that effect on us. The power of conviction will cause us to not only ask for forgiveness, but to repent. And repent means to turn from the old, sinful ways. There are actually a good number of Psalms that talk about crying to God.
AV Ps 6:6 “I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.” David’s cry out to God here was him crying out as a result of distress and a guilty conscious. He had been broken as a result. He knew what he had done and that crying out to God was his only hope.
AV Revelation 21:4 says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Here’s something we have to look forward to at the end of all our crying. God promises to wipe away the tears from the eyes of the believer. Though this life is one filled with tears and sadness, there will be a day when we will have that ultimate joy in Heaven of seeing Him and seeing Him as He is.
